Shave update:

Attempt two. Same blade but this time with a Schick Krona. Paid super close attention to pressure. A little better with the breakouts. There's still some residual from the...

I'll definitely keep all of this in mind. I might try to switch up soaps next time. Maybe go to Taylor of Old Bond street. Pretty easy lather.

I used a Lady Gillette that I had bought my wife a few years ago to try. The blade was a brand new Gillette Silver Blue. I did get a sample pack with a bunch of different blades in it. I'm thinking...

I'll be sure and keep an eye on my angle next time. If I had to point to one thing this is the most likely problem.

Tell me about it. I was bummed. Like I said, I'll give it another go when I heal up. The pic is 24 hours post shave to boot!

Welp 24 hours after my first shave with a DE. Bumps galore and probably ingrown hairs to come. Once I heal up I'll give it another go just to be sure. Bit of a disappointment. It was such a smooth...

Watching guys do three pass shaves and against the grain shaves make my face hurt just watching!

Thank you for the response! I guess maybe a better way to ask would be what blades to avoid haha. From what little I've researched previously there seems to be a lot of trial and error when talking...

I just might do that. Any particular blade you recommend?

I'll remember that!

Good to know. I might have to give it a go then.

So when I would shave with a cartridge razor as soon as I'd be done with the shave my kneck would be covered in raised red bumps. Some weeping depending on if I went over them with the razor.

So I started using a straight razor nine years ago because I was breaking out so bad using cartridge razors. Once I switched the breakouts and ingrown hairs virtually disappeared. My question for you...
