Good day all,
First a little bit of background, I have been shaving with a DE razor for about a year now. I was having a great time with it and getting ready to move into a real straight when I decided to shave my goatee and go bald faced for a while. Since then I have had huge issues trying to figure out how to shave my chin and upper lip. The hair seems much coarser and tougher to cut and my DE seems to skip alone my skin when I am going ATG especially on my upper lip and the curves of my chin. This leads to an uncomfortable shaving experience and definite razor burn and cuts. I also have little bumps popping up along the sides of my chin during the shave, they feel like goosebumps and they cause me to not get the close shave that I am used to. Am I doing something wrong? Are disposable blades not sharp enough for the task? Any help would be much appreciated. I am using a parker DE razor, and have tried both shaving soap and cream and tried pre-shave oil to try and soften the whiskers on my lip and chin.
