Hello Gents,

I am new to the wet shaving game; about a month in. While I am loving it, I am having some struggles with irritation under my chin/middle of throat and sometimes on my jaw line. I am currently using a double edge razor and always am using a new blade. Waiting on my straight to be delivered. I bought a sample pack of 200 blades so I have a lot. I feel that it maybe due to me getting a closer shave, but not sure. I have only been having this for about a week. I am using the same soap and after shave, and I feel that I am taking my time, re-lathering, etc.

So long story short I am wondering if a pre-shave oil may help and possibly a different aftershave. I currently do not use a pre-shave oil, and the only after shave that I use is various Clubman scents.

Any suggestions?
