Maybe I need a different skin care routine?
I don't particularly have one at the moment at all.
No, I do not think that. I do think you might need to reassess your shave and lathering techniques. I do understand that peoples skin sensitivity varies too but that sort of sensitivity level seems extraordinary to me. I just see no reason that a shave should wreck havoc on your face to the point that you have to wait a week to go through a repeat performance the following week.

There is some very good info here Beginner's guide to straight razor shaving - Straight Razor Place Wiki if you have not seen it already.
