Rookie need help on soap

Let me offer another suggestion to try. Have you considered that the pre-shave oil, shave gel and/or the post shave balm may actually be clogging the pores and causing bumps and ingrown hairs. I know we're all different, but in my case post-shave balms caused me more bumps and ingrowns than shaving with a cart. My suggestion would be to drop the post shave balm and finish the shave by splashing on an alcohol-based witch hazel (Dickinson or generic - not Thayer) along with an alcohol based aftershave. If you want an inexpensive aftershave, try Superior 70. It can be found in some Walgreens in their Latino/Hispanic area for $3-4 a bottle. I think you can still search the Walgreens web site by zip code to see which store in the area carries it. No guarantees in your case, but after shaving for 50 years, I've tried most shave options and I'm a big hater of pre-shave oils and post-shave balms. If it doesn't work for you, you're only out a couple of bucks.
