shiny face

[Alraz]

After my last shave, I noticed that my face was very shiny. I like the feel of the shave but I am not sure that I want to reflect the sunlight ;-). Two questions:

Has anybody noticed the same, is this common?

Does anybody have way to prevent it? Perhaps I am shaving too close.

Al raz.

It is common with the closeness of shave attributed with a straight shave. You've simply shaved deeper than before, cutting the whiskers that normally produce a shadow effect you're used to.

the better i got with a straight the more my face would shine i dont think there is such a thing as too close of a shave unless your taking the skin with it but if you dont want to reflect sunlight dont do an atg pass and see if thats what your looking for

Some of that can be attributed to the slight exfoliation of dead(non shiny) skin cells.

have you tried using a powder after you are done? i use pinaud sometimes and it seems to help

I'v also had good luck with Clubman's Pinaud talc. Just sprinkle a little on a towel after shaving & pat it on. It smells good & will get ride of that mirror shin.

Or try a different AS. Something with alcohol would dry your skin. However - this may intern drive your skin to produce more oils to compensae... Not sure how this will play out it the end - maybe it depends on the individual. Try it and share the results
