More ingrown hairs from proper soap?!?
I recently started using proper Dr. Harris Arlington soap along with a badger brush with my Mach3, and the shave is wonderful compared to the canned gel-lather crap. BUT, I get much more irritation post-shave on my neck and a lot more bumps than with the canned crap. Any ideas? My theory is that the water-free gel doesn't make the hairs extend at all, so when the 3-blade pulls out the hair and cuts it just bellow the skin the shave works out well, but when you add proper lather which contains water the hairs extend up to 20%, which the razor then cuts, and then you end up with hair cut a lot further down than it's supposed to be when the water evaporates... It's gonna be interesting to see the irritation-level with soap and a new Dovo, now I'm off to rub Aloe Vera gel into my irritated face. ^^
