Ogalala Bay Rum has very little alcohol. I haven't used Old Spice but I'd wager it has quite a bit more alcohol, thus more sting. Sounds like you could use a lighter hand while shaving. If you have to use quite a bit of pressure, then your razor is probably too dull.

I don't think I'm putting that much pressure but I may be using to much. I know the razor's sharp. I think that's my problem. I actually had this problem when I first got the razor back from Glen when he restored it. I just re-honed the razor two or three days ago. It's sharp enough to "pop" hairs off of my arm. It gives me a bbs shave. Any ideas?

If the results of your shaves are already close and comfortable, then either enjoy the burn or use something else
My opinion is that you shouldn't have to adjust an otherwise satisfactory technique for an aftershave productFind me on SRP's official chat in ##srp on Freenode. Link is at top of SRP's homepage

Thanked: 13250You also have to understand you are comparing apples and oranges in splashes there...
The Ogallala is one of the mildest as too sting, and the Old Spice is one of the worst....
That is the Thistle razor??? I just got two of them for myself, they are awesome shavers...

Thanked: 20Apply while doing large soft gestures like you're playing piano... the "air" should make it more comfy.

Yes Glen, it's the thistle. I love what you did with that thing. It's beautiful. And yes, they are wonderful shavers.
Thank you everyone. I was just wondering if the burn was normal. I will try using a lighter hand.
