I stopped shaving against the grain and weeded out blades that didn't work for me (Persona Labs). I don't like irritation.
I didn’t get irritation today!
I can not agree with you more. I am from DE, injector, AC, shavette, I think I will settle in Gem, but I fell into the rabbit hole of SR.@Leo K, if you really want an irritation-free shave, lean the gentlemanly art of straight razor shaving. Within a month of daily shaving you would look back.

Some great suggestions above!!
You should also consider mapping your beard to better understand what you are doing with each pass.
I used to be prone to irritation (spots etc.) from milder razors. Fortunately, I bought an R41 and my skin has never felt or looked better.
I read a great line from a B&B member a couple of months ago which I think is just perfect:
"I'd rather feel the blade during the shave, than after it."
It's a good one isn't itThanks for that line! When I put my Fatboy up to a higher number my skin does feel really good after. I'll have to try that.
