The scrub I just purchased has these following ingredients. I used it for the first time yesterday and shave went so better than usual. I was able to pluck any ingrown hairs super easily after the shave.
The next day I experienced some pain however. Not a crazy amount but felt like a minor sunburn so my skin felt sensitive. Should I exfoliate on different days than when I shave? And is this considered chemical?

whats the name of the scrub?
No. But peppermint is a frequent thing people react negative to.
Its manual exfoliation because you scrub away dead skin with the bamboo. It can cause micro wounds if used harshly on the skin.
It is either a hybrid or physical. Chemical exfoliants don’t require you to rub, and the bamboo powder granules means there’s at least some physical exfoliation happening.
Without the full ingredients it’s hard to tell if there’s also chemical exfoliants or n there.
If you’re getting irritation, use it either or on days you don’t shave, or at night if you shave in the AM
