Hi all. Well like my title says I shaved for a fifth time with my straight razor. So far so good. Only had a small cut last time I shaved but it wasn't bad at all.
My question is why does my face feels like its on fire right when I'm done shaving?
I make sure i take a nice hot shover before shave, work up nice lather, use badger brush and go slow. Razor feels sharp since i bough it shave ready and i stop it before every use. I go with the grain first which is fine but once i go against the grain and from side to side my face feels like its burning. I don't get razor burn next day but right after i'm done and I wash a face off with cold water. I skipped aftershave all together last time since it burned like hell. Also burning lasts about 5-10 min and its all good after.
I don't think that is normal and I'm wondering what am I doing wrong.
Thanks
