I've been using a little shavette with derby blades -- bought here -- for a couple of weeks now, and things have been going ok. I still haven't managed a full shave without cutting myself, but things have been improving shave-by-shave. A few days ago I was brave enough to try a three pass shave, and it was (almost) perfect! As smooth as a baby's butt

Just yesterday I tried again, but this time I shaved right after a shower. This was the first time I'd showered immediately before, and I really carved myself up! It was kinda embarrassing: lots of razor burn on my neck, and 8-10 cuts on my chin, neck and cheeks. My wife couldn't stop laughing at me

Can anyone suggest why this would have happened? Was it anything to do with the shower before-hand, or was it just clumsiness?
