I guess my skin is just really sensitive? I would say I have to keep shavings to at least 4 days apart. AT LEAST lol I tried shaving one time one day after another a while ago, but I couldn't even finish because the irritation was beyond belief
I make sure that my blade is at it's sharpest, use no pressure (let the weight of the blade do the work) and use the thickest of lather to protect my face from any mistakes I may make. This morning I was pretty aggressive on the mustache area and was suprised (relieved) that I didn't get razor burn. I attribute this to whipping up the thickest of lather. Dont be afraid to splurge on the finest soaps and creams. They pay for themselves over again by protecting and lubricating your face. Also avoid alcohol based sftershaves until you get a good shaving technique. There are many great and masculine smelling shaving balms out there that will help combat razor irritation. My .02 cents.
