Thread: Razor burn!!

+1 on pretty much everything said by Fbones. I also found the parraso pre/post shave cream works well to stop/soothe razor burn. Brut after shave will also help soothe the razor burn do to the methenol in it but really won't help heal it.

I don't really know your disposable razor holder but they all work and work well they are just alot less forgiving then real straights. I still use mine from time to time and they are real nice for traveling. Also you can probally only get two good shaves out of each blade then have to switch them out. After that you will run into the razor burn problem again.

Some good options on strops are at http://www.whippeddog.com/-----$19---Poor-Man-Strop-Kit-with-Leather-Strop/. The owner of this site is Larry Andro on here. The kit is nice cause it comes with a pasted basla strop to get you started and help maintan your razor. This is where I got started with real straights. I also just bought this one from star shaving supplies. 2" Leather Strop and have been real happy with it.

Good luck in the future and keep at it
