Hello everyone,
I’m hoping someone can give me some advice. I seem to get irritation and razor burn almost all the time. I’ve used vintage Gillettes, Timeless, charcoal, Karve, Muhle, Merkur, and probably more I haven’t thought of, and two dozen blade varieties. Every time, my razor will glance over my stubble on pass 2 or 3. The best shave I can hope to get without irritation will leave me looking like I have 12-14 hours growth. And we all know what happens if you apply too much pressure. BBS almost never happens and DFS happens occasionally. Blade buffing doesn’t seam to help anything and usually ends in worse irritation. And there’s no way it’s the soap because I’ve used dozens of soaps and the lather always peaks and has the right amount of water. I’ve humored the idea that maybe I aught to hang it up and accept defeat but after 5 years I enjoy it too much even when my face ends up red as a tomato . Can anyone offer advice or constructive criticism?
