A Smooth Shave Leaves Raw Skin
I recently bought an 11/16 J.A. Henckels Wedge #12 from the the SRP forums. It shaves amazingly well; sliding smooth without a hint of catching and leaves a very smooth shave. However, after using it my skin feels very raw. This doesn't happen with an of my other razors.
A smooth shave is great, but leaving my face feeling wind burned is a high price to pay. Any advice for what I can do better? Do I just need a lighter touch? Is this a question of technique, or just finding the right aftershave lotion (I'm using almond oil)?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Zack
