Newbie here again.
Ok, so I'm on week 2 of straight razor shaving and have successfully shaved 5 times. The first 3 were pretty slow and very satisfying. Then I started to see a problem. I am now starting to get a pretty good case of razor burn/ingrown hairs. I am showering first, using quality soaps (Strop Shop Baker Street and Kell's Black Tea, Energy) and stropping the razor adequately. I am not using anything but quality soap. Is this a sign that I need to seek out a pre or post shave treatment? Or should I just suck it up and work on my shaving technique? I am at a point where I feel I might need to give my face a week or so to heal up but really don't want to.
