I've recently started a new trend that I've found does wonders to calm down any post-shave burn or irritation.
After shaving with my _very nice_ TGQ Orange Patchouli soap, and after hitting any little bleeders (I have a couple of moles that I slice a little bit almost every time I shave) I'll dab a little bit of the green tube Proraso cream and rub it into my face, then follow it with a hot-water towel for a minute. Rinsing off the cream after the hot towel feels very nice (thanks to the eucalyptus and menthol) and I've noticed a distinct drop in post-shave burn and irritation. I'm tempted to try shaving every day again and see how it holds up...
