Got home from work, and hopped in the shower. I wasn't planning on shaving but decided to anyways.

Shave 2 went well. Did both cheeks and my neck (I have a mustache and goatee). Did a lot better with my left hand this time. I did a single WTG pass. Still didn't get a very good shave, but again no blood.

My question has to do with irritation. Like I mentioned, I only did one pass and I didn't cut myself. However when I applied my after shave balm (Nivea). There was a small amount of burning. Nothing bad, and it only lasted a second. Is this normal, or am I getting more irritation than I should?

I think my shave prep is good, Hot shower, Niviea pre shave face scrub, Good lather. So if it is excessive irritation I'm guessing it would be a technique issue.....

Thanks,
Troy
