Hello,

I recently upgraded from a double-edged safety razor, to a straight razor with replaceable blades. I use a fresh blade on every shave, of course.

The first time I shaved, a few days ago, I cut myself up. To be expected. Now, my face is peeling terribly. Is this also a result of applying too much pressure on my strokes, or is the peeling a natural reaction to the closeness of a straight razor, and my face will adapt accordingly?

I use proraso cream/brush + coral skin food afterwards.
