Thread: razor burn

stupid razor burn ... i look like a prick haha!!

Lighter touch and time!! Do you have an alum block or some kind of post shave lotion, witch hazel or something along those lines might help!

Been there, done that. ->

The first few shaves are the worst, it gets better fast.

i also have been there, just remember to slow down and not try and rush things. i promise it will get only better with time and you will enjoy the experience...good luck

i don't have alum block, i have a decent after shave lotion, it has propolis, which soothes the skin.
i have had good shaves. and even this last one wasn't bad
after all it was only my 4th shave so i shouldn't expect much
i think the main problem is my stropping technique, this time round i felt the blade dragging a little especially on ATG

I find that Vitamin E oil calms the burn instantly & helps healing. It might be worth picking some up. It makes a good moisturiser too. Correct the stropping & lighten up the pressure & things will improve, provided the razor is shave ready.
