I am so stoked to finally get a razor burn free shave, each & every time. A lot of guys here preach about pressure, but for me the key to a pain free shave was proper blade angle. Slicing hairs at the shaft rather than scraping my face is a revelation.
What's the next step up in the DE shaving process? I'm thinking about adding alcohol products into my routine, but I'm 38 and have never used an aftershave splash before. Always been averse to alcohol due to the stinging, but now I feel like the gates are open to experiment with more manly products.
And there's no way I'm switching to a straight razor, I have a Feather Artist Club but plan to sell it. I'm sold on DE, a slant & good blades. Seems like I've gone way overboard with the software though. With my face no longer on fire after a shave I'm not sure what to do with the cooling gel, aftershave balms, etc, etc.
Is this a normal progression for a noob? Let the process overtake your life for a month, spend $ like everyday is payday, then realize too much actually is too much.
I'm also wondering if anyone has looked into fixing their skin once they perfect the shave. I've been scraping my face for nearly 25 years, no doubt there are battle scars.
