    I will agree with Ed that the Arko and Palmolive soaps are great performers at a very low cost. Also for some heat can cause issues. For me too much heat leads to irritation. You could have over softened your face as well. We are all different and for some hot towels and showers etc are counter productive. Good luck finding what works best for you.

    A little over-confidence will get that red rising.

    I first started with a shavette and had the same problem. Believe it or not, I found it much easier to shave with actual straight razor. For some reason, the shavettte tend to vaude trouble for a lot of guys because they are much less forgiving with blade angle, blade corners, etc. don't be discouraged.
