I've been using a bluebeards revenge shavette style razor all week and after a couple of dodgy shaves at the start I dared to think I was getting the hang of it.
But I just had a god awful shave. I noticed it was starting to pull a little so I put a fresh blade it and continued shaving.
First path and all went well, slight nick on the chin but it's always awkward there.
Second pass cross the grain and there were a several more little nicks but nothing terminal.
I then cleaned up and noticed my face was quite inflamed. So I used an aftershave balm.
I have reapplied it twice more since and my face is still on fire!
What could I have done wrong?
Any tips on calming done inflamed skin?
What are those white matches for cuts about?
