Recently (A week or so,(and, I shave every other day)) I've noticed that every time I shave I get a bit of a burning sensation during, and for a while after. Now, I don't know why it's suddenly doing this. And it's not Hard/software related.
The first time I had it was with MWF, and, though I'd used it before a number of times, I thought maybe I'd suddenly developed an intolerance to lanolin, but I also got it another time with a different soap (I think it was Neal's Yard), and that time I used Burt's bees AS cream (which I had also used (once) before), and after that it was like I had dipped my face into Vesuvius, it (mostly on lower cheek, jaw and neck area) went red and was burning almost to the point of throbbing , and actually had to wipe my face with a wet cold flannel, and it eased off a lot after that.
Today, I used TOBS Eton, and as I started to shave It was burning a bit during, but wasn't quite like the previous times, mostly a warm sort of tingling, and after I applied AS/EDT, it eased off some, but still remained mildly warm for a bit.
Now, let me just say, the first couple of times weren't great days and there may have been a bit of a lack of concentration (One of them, I actually cut my finger with the razor), and had a few weepers around, so some of them may have had some extra pressure. But today’s shave was ‘perfect’, no cuts, and very focused, but I still got some burning, and a bit of redness.
P.S. I also used different brushes on each shave. And for info's sake, I use a 2-pass 'system' and do have senstiveish skin, and only focus on doing a 'Close-Comfortable-Shave', but generally often get razor-bumps and weepers (mostly on the neck).
