Going to get flamed here me thinks, but... you think most noobs who bemoan thier sensitive skin are nothing more than men who can’t lather up a good soap or haven’t gotten past the point of razor burn? I mean why do so many noobs have “sensitive skin?”

Seriously?

I mean I remember when I started, I got razor burn like a champ! Years of pushing down hard on my old plastic razors made it impossible for me to tread lightly on my tools!

But it couldn’t be me, so I blamed it on my “sensitive skin.”

Then as time passed, I’d make a lousy lather, most of the time because I was cheap and didn’t swirl enough on the soap, or apply enough cream, and then after I got another crappy shave that was irritating... yup, sensitive skin.

I bemoaned my sensitive skin for years. It was never sensitive skin, it was me messing up. What’s worse was, buying some soaps for sensitive skin meant less tallow or glycerin or whatever, exasperating the situation!

Personally, I think 90% of dudes who are crying the blues talking on how sensitive thier skin is, is nothing more than guys who need to slow down and learn the art better! Stop applying so much pressure! Learn to make a good lather! Don’t be cheap like me!
