Thread: Great Shave...burning sensation?

i have been wet-shaving for a month. As of two weeks ago i am getting great shaves and the damage i did to my face in the first two weeks is going away(cuts, razor bumps and general irritation). I started out using Tabac soap. I really like this soap. I then started super-lathering using unscented AOS cream. I can get a BBS if i am okay with a little irritation. I get get a DFS with no irritation. I tried the TOBs Sandalwood for the first time last night. BTW i shave at night now b/c my face is still smooth enough for Army standards in the morning. I usually put some lather on my face and let it sit with a hot towel for two to three mins as my pre shave prep. However when i did this with TOBs sandalwood my face started to burn. I waited it out and continued with my shave. The burning did not go away until i applied my aftershave balm. I had a great shave with no visible irritation. However the burning sensation was odd. It was the same sensation you get from applying an alcohol based aftershave to a severly irritated just shaved face.
