Hey Guys,
Been wet shaving for about 3 years with luxury creams, a badger brush, and my fusion razor. I actually tried DE shaving when I got into the creams and badger brushes but quit after a week because I wasnt getting the results I wanted (I know this wasnt enough time). I get pretty good results from my fusion but not BBS. I get no ingrown hairs or razor burn with 3 passes on my fusion. Im giving DE shaving another chance because of the high price of cartridge razors, enjoyment of DE shaving, and trying to get a frequent BBS.
I have been at DE shaving for about a month now and still am not getting great results. I have read everything about technique, blade pressure, proper shave prep, correct lather, post shave process, etc etc . Somehow I keep getting razor burn on my neck even with the lightest of blade pressure. Im struggling to find a resolution. My only guess is the equipment. I currently use a feather and a SS. Yes I have tried razor sample packs. The feather seems to be the only razor that really cuts through my bread and doesnt drag. I also currently have an open comb old type that gives me a really close shave but provides a great deal of razor burn. I also tried different blades in the old type and still landed on feathers. However, I have set this razor aside for days I have a couple of days of growth because of its aggressiveness.
I have a Super Adjustable coming to me this week. Im hoping that being able to change the aggressiveness of the razor will help eliminate the razor burn and still provide a close shave. I hope this does the trick.
Any other suggestions? Thanks for the insight!
