Could I be allergic to my razor?

For the past couple of months I've been getting really itchy bumpy skin on my legs. I finally realized it happens mostly after I shave. the bumps sort of remind me of pimples and they itch like crazy! And I know its not razor burn, I know what that feels and looks like. I've tried two different razors lately and thought I found one that worked, but sadly Im having another bad reaction. My legs are so torn up and look so gross its really embarrassing to wear shorts. Any tips or advice on what I should do? Im sort of lost here. Id like to avoid the dermatologist, because I've been to the doctor a lot lately for other health issues. But if I have to, I will go. Thanks.
