This one is for those who have been shaving for a while.
Read in a couple random threads around the interblog over the last couple of months that super close DE shaves with sharp blades can lead to leather skin. These were random comments possibly by DE shaving trolls. Possibly you're taking off a layer of skin each time with the close BBS shaves and the skin reacts. I'm guessing.
Thoughts? Has anyone who has been shaving for years noticed a difference either way? If you've seen a positive difference, what are you doing to make this happen?
I imagine that if you use a cream or soap that has leaves some moisture in your skin and/or use a moisturizer, then this wouldn't be an issue. Don't know really.
