The same thing happens to me when I chase BBS. After Slantember I decided to “leave a little stubble for seed”. Lately I have been getting consistent DFS, DFS+ and DFS++ shaves without irritation. They are pleasant shaves. My US Prewar Fat Handle triangle Tech really shines with a low angle “Tech technique”.

BTW really nice kit you have.

Today's shave
Prep: Hot shower and face wash with leftover shampoo lather
Brush: VDH Boar brush
Lather: Williams Mug Soap
Razor: Schick Krona with silvertip handle
Blade: Derby Premium
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

10 out of 10 on this one. I think I've found my preferred soap and aftershave combination with the Williams and Clubman. Like the feel of my face after using those two, plus it takes me back to times my grandpa would take me to his local barbershop as a kid.
