# very strange blade in the end I got still a very weird cool shave I had ZERO razor burn like absolute ZERO I used PSO for a whole pass against the grain which gave it a result of a very acceptable shave good shave nice experience
The blade feels as if its not doing its work but the end result is there, I had skipped a days of shaving, splashed the a/s on no burn..just a light tingle.

What are you doing ? does your prep consist of having the proraso pre soak into the beard? that is what I have been doing lately and I have been getting fantastic shaves. the pre works for me, or is it all imaginary thinking like a fata morgana ? I keep touching my face today its sick..and it wasnt even a high super expensive blade I used. irritation and burn free, I mean ok im not as close as a Feather blade but there was ZERO burn and ZERO Nicks something you cant say about a Feather...atleast not with my technique yet.

The mud mask I took yesterday could also be guilty of my faceturbating?

Rene,
I've been using a warm, moist towel on my face for 3 minutes, then applying the Proraso pre, and finishing with 3 more minutes of warm, moist towel.
