    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 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.
