In another thread about my sensitive skin, someone mentioned the possibility that the water I'm using could be an issue. I didn't think much of it, but last night I had a revelation. I was using electric razors until about three years ago, at which point I started getting irritated and bad shaves, even with fresh blades. That's when I started looking for new shaving methods, and eventually tried straights.

Anyway, the only major change at that time was moving -- I moved into this current apartment. It's in the same neighborhood, but a different building. Maybe there IS something to this water theory.

I'm going to do an experiment!

Thoughts or suggestions?
