No bumbs or irritation!

[Roy]

Over the years I've got bumps and irritation spots on the area of chin beneath my mouth.
However none at all for the past 2 months.
Why I've no idea as little has changed. I've even used some soaps and creams which I blamed in the high.
Delighted of course. Do you think you grow out of bad skin?

In my opinion you grow out of bad technique.

Things like eating better, drinking more water, etc, can make a difference as well.

What helped me years ago, was to start shaving daily. Sometimes even twice a day. Just a single pass and some touch-ups. I'm firm believer in the idea that skin 'toughens up' from consistently shaving with 24 hrs. give or take, in between. I now only get irritation if I wait 48 hrs. or more.

Any irritation problems I had went away as soon as I switched from cartridge razors and canned goop, but also at the time my prep was just lather and shave so that probably had something to do with it lol. Don't know what you use for prep but a pre shave oil might help, or an after shave lotion with Aloe, but like others have said if it is just one spot it might be technique related as well.

Same here. If I wait two days, I usually get itchy bumps. However my technique and lather are also responsible. Discovering what direction and number of passes my face can take has been essential
