    I would do just that, double the stropping and take a few days off to heal. Good luck

    Every so often I get the same issue.

    When it gets like you describe I steal my wifes Bio oil. Its a steller product and reduces the heal time. You will smell like a lady, but your burn will be gone.

    Seasons are changing and facial chemistry it also changing. We are starting to get colder days and the skin is dryer so you may need to consider the pre/post care abit.

    I had this issue with soaps, then I found Truefitt. AMAZING cream!!! 4-5 drops of glycerin, and absolutely amazing. That and I lightened up on the pressure a bit. But whenever I use anything but Truefitt, I can feel the difference. Drop $20 and see what you think, 1 jar lasts months.

    EXCELLENT point! I hadn't thought about this, but will be on the lookout for it since my facial skin changes dramatically during the winter.
    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    Truefitt and hill is all I'd ever used till the pelhagons. I will darn sure take the change of season into account. Might place an order for some castle Forbes pre shave today. I love the truefitt cream. Wanted to try xpec but can't find any.

    Have you tried adding a little glycerin? It's like $2 at any store and does wonders.

    Razor not well honed will give you a burn feeling

    Try using one of the aftershave balms to add some moisture to your skin after your shave. The Nivea, Dove, and Neutrogena aftershave balms are excellent products.
