Thread: Gillette Fusion Prolide or DE Shaving, Skin way too sensitive!

Sounds to me like you are using too much of an angle and too much pressure with the DE. You can put the DE with the handle straight out and the head flat on your face, then slowly rotate the handle down till you just feel the blade and that should be you starting point for angle. You do slight adjustments from there. It should not be anywhere near a 40-45 degree angle. For pressure just let the weight of the blade rest on your face and guide the razor with the handle. It only takes a very, very light touch.
