The title kind of says it all. After an almost four year hiatus I have worked my way back to a full face shave with a straight. The thing is, on the second pass XTG, my skin gets "rubbery". I relather and add some water, but it just feels like dragging the razor across a piece of rubber. It's not the whiskers, they shave off just fine, and I don't cut or nick myself. I guess the first pass just takes off all the natural skin oils that are still there even after a wash and lather. My complexion is not the best, I have plenty of bumps across my face, but the razor glides over all but the biggest of them. On my last shave this morning only a little scar on my chin and one particularly large bump on my left cheek got nicked, which they almost always do, whether straight or Fusion. They always stop bleeding pretty damn quick.
Would using a shaving oil help this? I haven't seen any in any of the stores I go to so before I order some online I figured I would ask if anybody here had any insight on this.
Thank you for any help and info.
