I have tried using different soaps, and razors, but I can't seen to get rid of the razorburn on my legs that appears there after I take a shower.... Any ideas??

What razor blades are you using? I use gillette ones that have 4 blades and they have little wires accross them to stop you cutting your self supposedly, this should stop you getting razor burn as it stops the blade getting too close but obviously you still get a close shave.
Or you can do what i do and give up shaving altogether, i wax, its so much better, i only shave if im desperate.
Are you sure your cleaning the blades properly after each stroke rinse the hair out and dont use the same blade too often cos they blunt really easily.

I have the same issue. The skin on my legs in really fair and sensitive. What helps for me is using a quality razor (I use the Olay razor from Venus), a very moisturizing cream (I sometimes even use conditioner!) and then a lotion for sensitive skin when I get out of the shower. It helps the appearance, and keeps the little rash that does pop up from being so itchy and uncomfortable!

I use Gillette Venus embrace, but I still get pink bumps on my skin, and I'm REALLY pale, so it shows badly.. :(

use an unperfumed moisturiser on legs after shaving(even better if u use after every shower) i find regular moisturising helps prevent razor burn and i only shave in the shower using shower gel and i never get rashes and my legs are super smooth :)

weird trick but it works - apply an unscented (or sensitive skin version) anti-perspirant/deodorant to the affected areas
