razor pulls & tugs + razor burn
Hi Guys
First of all, I would like to apologize for spamming the beginner sub-board with new threads.
Secondly, I want to thank you guys again for this great place.
A good thing is that I immediately got hooked on straight razor shaving.
Did my 3rd shave today and I have to say the more I do it, the more I like it. I have never had such a clean and tight shave in my life!
However, I have some serious razorburn (like the last two times).
It can't be the blade. I visited a professional cutler today and he said the razor was fine. He was being very nice and stropped the razor for me.
I let the shaving cream on my face for about 2-3 minutes, then lathered again to prevent it from drying out and waited another 2-3 minutes. And I did shower prior to that.
However, the razor is hard for me to handle in certain areas, especially around the chin and the mustache. I nicked myself a couple of times too (my colleagues at work are gonna laugh at me tomorrow, haha).
Now, what am I doing wrong?
Is it perhaps that I shaved 3 days in a row? I usually didn't do that, I mostly shaved twice or thrice a week.
I guess I should wait for my beard to wait a little longer, at least 3 days. Would that help improving my 4th straight shaving experience?
