    Default Every day shave irritation

    Hi everyone,

    Through most my adult life, shaving was neglected. I usually used a beard trimmer to shave close to the skin because shaving with a traditional razor irritated my neck.

    Several months ago I saw a video on straight razor shaving and thought maybe this could be my saving grace to be able to shave regularly. I really love it, and I do get a wonderful shave. I'm probably 15 shaves in with a straight razor, Dovo Forestral, that I acquired from SRD.

    However, I am unable to shave two consecutive days without getting razor bumps on my neck. After the first day, my skin feels great. No irritation whatsoever. It's that second day shave that really gets me. I even take it easy, shaving WTG and only doing one pass.

    Is there anyone here that can relate to my situation? I would love to shave every day, but my skin doesn't seem to want to tolerate it. I feel like i have to let my skin settle down for a week before I can shave again. I have tried shaving with a straight razor on day 1, and a DE on day 2. DE on both days, and SR on both days.

    Thank you for your time, and I really look forward to learning a lot here.
