Thread: Shaving for a while with a DE and still have irritation?

I would also consider changing the adjustment on the razor for a less aggressive shave and watch the shave angle too.

Too much pressure is usually the problem.
A lifetime of training apprentices and watching people use handtools leads me to the conclusion that some guys just have a 'feel' for whatever tool they use, from a wrench to a razor. Many do not. For some it will always be stripped threads, prematurely worn out automobiles and shaving rash.
