Saturday early evening shave, 1.5 days of growth:
Pre-shave: Hot shower, Proraso Red, glycerin soap
Lather: AoS Sandalwood, Mühle Vivo Black Fiber brush
Razor: Blackland Vector, Schick Proline blade (4)
Aftershave: Supply Healing aftershave, Nivea aftershave balm
Some razor burn / stinging today compared with yesterday. I can’t blame the pre-shave routine, as it was the same as yesterday. So what gives? Perhaps I applied more pressure than I should have? Is the Proline just too sharp? Should I trade efficiency for the ‘safety’ and smoothness of a guarded blade? I think @thombrogan may be right, there’s something off with my technique.
