Thread: Help! Confused.

All valid arguments. I mean barbers having been using hot towels for how long? As far as drying the face first, I'll find out. My face technically will still be wet with the lather. I just found on the last shave that when I applied the really hot water right before applying the lather it made the spots that got irritated las time get irritated before I even started shaving, then I have to shave over them. I'll try anything once.

Carl, I have been looking at the Proraso sensitive skin pre-shave and the creme as well. And, I've been thinking about buying a second blade for this very reason. And the fact that if I decide to send it out to get honed I will have one to use. I'm still debating this. You said a month to six weeks before first honing. I was thinking times between honing would be longer and that you could just refresh a little using CrOx. I wouldn't be using it on a strop. Probably some Poplar that I have laying around.
