Thread: sensitive skin/feeling - how long after shaving?

I had this problem with skin burn after shaving my technique improving has helped lots. I also seem to get less razor burn when I use witch hazel after shaving. One other thing if I get a shave with lots if razor burn I will not shave for two days to give my face a chance to heal.

When I was shaving with a five-bladed wonder, I had to make sure that I wouldn't be going out for at least two hours afterwards; the redness was that bad. Needless to say, I was a night shaver.

After I made the switch to a straight razor, yeah, it was red after the first shave (read: the FIRST shave with a SR - ever), but it was gone in about ten minutes. The next day, five minutes. I don't learn that fast, so it must be the single blade - my skin seems to love it. A quick slap of Trumper's skin food and I feel fantastic afterwards.

I wanna shave right now, but I'm still smooth. What's happening to me....
