Breaking Out!
Good evening. I've been straight shaving for a whole two weeks now. I use the Classic Shaving Soap and a badger bristle brush. Since then my face has been breaking out with bumps, is real dry, and itches like hell. I wear a helmet everyday and the chin strap just irritates it even more. Of course taking the helmet off is not an option. Nor is skipping a few days shaving to let my skin heal. The past couple of days I put the straight down and have been using a disposable and reg shaving cream. No, I didn't sell out or give up just yet. I'm just giving my face a chance to heal up. I'm not sure if it's the soap, the brush, or just my lack of experience. Should I just suck it up and assume my face will get use to it eventually? I have some soap and cream from TGQ en route just to see if that works a little better. It's also almost impossible to keep my lather even luke warm in my little wooden bowl while I shave. I would appreciate any advice.
