I've been thinking about how to get rid of my shaving rash and razor burn.
I never had it so bad before back when I was only shaving about once a week. For the last few months or so I've been improving my technique and have got a lot better at shaving. I can now shave every day/day and a half and have minimal irritation. This may not sound like a big deal to some but it is to me. If you'd told me I could be shaving this often about 3 months ago, I'd have laughed. However. I still get quite a degree of redness and burn and I wonder if it's because my skin isn't really getting a chance to heal between shaves.
My thinking is, if I left it a week or so to heal and for any stray hairs to grow through, I could then go back to square one with a non-irritated neck and properly gague how well my technique has improved.
Would it work this way OR would it have the opposite effect and make my skin more sensitive to the touch of the blade?
