I thought I'd start a new thread- this is related to a post on the need by some to rest their skin on some interval due to skin irritation/red bumps.

I've never experienced the need to rest the skin or have had any red bump issues, and I'm guessing it is probably due more to skin type and/or technique but...

Does anyone think there is a correlation between skin irritation and the finish of the edge? For example, edges finished with a coticle are characterized as "smooth", and does that reduce irritation?

Maybe someone who has some skin sensitivity could send their razor out to a honemeister with a coticlue and see if there is any difference (I'd hone one for free on my coti, but note I've only honed a handful of razors so far)
