I agree with the suggestion that you use more water in your lather. I prefer to see some ‘sheen’ in my lathers, rather than the thick ‘yogurt’ often shown in photos.
Apply a shave oil (my fav is Shave Secret) before lathering up. It will leave your skin conditioned rather than dry after the rinse. I also had dry skin after a shave but the oil as a pre-shave works for me.Hello guys, i just switch from cartridge to DE razor. i started with Gillette King C DE razor and Gillette King C blade.
My problem is that my skin gets very dry during the shaving with the DE razor, something i didn't have withe the cartridge razor.
After i do some strokes , the area gets very dry. i have tried proraso red shaving cream, cremo red tube, and Marlowe shaving cream.
all, gave me the same result. what can be my problem? am i doing something wrong?
i have normal to oily skin.
Thanks.
thanks, but i have no problem with my lather, the razor glides on it perfectly, but leaves the spot very dry right away. so if i want to do another stroke on this spot right away, i cant cause is it very dry.Seems like you’re saying that your lather lacks residual slickness, not that your skin is dry in the traditional sense. Honestly this could still be due to too dry a lather, but sometimes just a quick splash of water will re-slicken the skin without necessarily needing to relather. Best bet is to relather at least until you know how your skin will react to quick passes on lather residue versus fresh lather. There is no rule stating that you must relather your entire face if you just need to hit one spot, just grab your brush, quickly lather up that spot and shave away.
All of have skin that react differently but I simply don't pass a blade over skin that doesn't have lather on it. There may be a bit of residual slickness but you just passed a very sharp instrument over your skin scraping any and all the lubrication off it. If I need to get a spot I missed or touch up it always with lather. If in a hurry and I try to get a second stroke without lather, I am guaranteed to get irritation., tried different shaving creams but still no change. i want to explain my issue once again .after i finish lathering my face, i start to do the first strokes (WTG), but if i want to do one more stroke on that area i just did, which has now doesn't have shaving cream on it, that area is very very dry, and it is really difficult for me to glide the razor once again on it. i wonder, is it normal ? i know that i shouldn't do another strokes on an area without a shaving cream, but i don't think it should gets dry so quickly after the first stroke. thanks in advance for your tips .
That is the basic rule so why are you doing it? Relather and do another pass which will get you a closer shave. A bit of blade buffing is okay on the tricky areas like the chin.i know that i shouldn't do another strokes on an area without a shaving cream,
Something I took two years to grasp and understand. I have sensitive skin and the sooner you make adjustments to your skin. The better your shaves will be. Look after your skin. pre shave, post shave and between shaves if not a daily shaver. The biggest improvement for me was vegetal products. No sense in me pimping products. What works for me might not work for you. You need to try the products that you think may help you. Very recently I threw out a lot of balms and skin products. Not because they were bad. They just didn’t work for me. What I mean by that is if you do not feel an improved skin reaction to the product in a good nourishing comfortable way. Don’t use that product. That’s why I threw them out.Hello guys, i just switch from cartridge to DE razor. i started with Gillette King C DE razor and Gillette King C blade.

You are describing, that the issues with the dry skin only appeared when using DE razor and never happened with a cartridge.My problem is that my skin gets very dry during the shaving with the DE razor, something i didn't have withe the cartridge razor.
