Yes my technique needs work which I already stated, thanks for pointing it out again. Me giving the hairs potential to ingrow and them actually ingrowing are two different things entirely though. If alum takes these hairs with potential and pushes them to ingrow, which they would not do without it, that is enough for me to identify alum as the larger part of the issue. It is a straw that broke the camels back type of situation. So I could rephrase that statement as, with my current shaving abilities alum is giving me ingrown hairs. Accept I already said that in a different manner. Thank you for quoting me out of context to show your superior shaving knowledge, it is helping me tremendously.
