Petroleum jelly as after shave treatment
Today I had a bad shave day. Shaved with my Worcester Mass. razor i recently bought from an online auction. It did not go well, had to finish with another razor. It could depend on two things. First it is the first smiling razor I've honed and i had some problems honing it, so many it's not perfectly honed. And second it is tiny and light, never held a razor that light before. I usually like razors that are a bit heavier. Anyway, Ill just have to rehone it and see...
So my neck was really irritated. I remembered reading an old thread with a question about using petroleum jelly as an after shave treatment and tried this. I must say, it works better for calming down the irritation than my Nivea sensitive aftershave balm. This is probably nothing I'll use after every shave, but for bad shave days like today it was good!
