I went over board with the close shaves for about a week, like 3 to 4 passes with my slant. what a nut, right. Man, I never knew what the word bite meant. This morning I used my good old gillette tech which I havent used in years. Nice and gentle and I feel like Im healing. I do not have cuts, just bad burn. So Ill never put down a mild shave razor again. I really need it.
