Dear Friends,
I have been shaving with DE for last 8 years. Before that I was using carts and was having a huge problems with ingrown hairs on my neck. I switched to DE after one of my doctor friend suggested it and I have never used carts again.
Last week, my elder son gifted me Parker SRB shavette and I have tried it twice since then. I watched many videos to know the right technique and on both the occasions, I successfully completed only wtg pass with the shavette. After that the xtg and atg were completed with my DE without any issues.
On both the occasions with the Shavette encounter, I suffered one nick on chin and two weepers on my neck. But after applying the Alum block afterwards, everything was good. A little redness on neck which disappeared after 2 hours and it was very assuring experience.
I have only one question, why the redness ? What am I doing wrong ? There is no itchiness at all. But after seeing the redness my wife was really disturbed and hence I am asking this question.
I have used the Parker half blade on first shave and Wilkinson Sword (India) half blade on the second shave but the redness is there.
Will like to have some advice from the experienced users here.
Thanks !
