Fine shave, nothing more. I got some irritation due to overshave. Why when do I get a new razor each time I try to make the most of it?? Each time, and each time I overshave. No BBS, just red neck
Today I tried a fresh and far sharper blade (previously it was used Lord). I started with across the grain (as usual for my short stubble) and it was awesome, much better than the first pass with Lord. It was DFS right away. Then the second, against pass, was good but I still might touch some stubble. And here we go! 69 neurotic strokes to get a relatively 3.4% cleanness increase along with irritation to 82%
Thanks, I'll give it a try + won't overshave, that's the main issue. Happens! Life goes onTry using Witch Hazel after rinsing your face. I do this every time and never suffered any irritation.
You lot may suffer from my irritation but that is part and parcel of my being.
