Try a polar bear shave? It was pretty hot up here in Portland for a little while and my shaves during that time were my worst. I tried a polar bear shave towards the end of the wave and it was fantastic for the heat. I know it's gotta be quite a bit worse heat-wise down there but same basic principle.

Also, you said you didn't pay attention to how many times you stropped, maybe you were inattentive enough that you rolled the edge or something? Or even you were tired and off your game enough that your technique was just that bad for the day? Just a couple thoughts.

+1 on the polar bear shave.. i'm in los angeles and it's africa hot.. i have been waiting till around 1 or 2pm to do my shave and i'm loving it.. i set the kids down for a nap and take a nice james bond shower.. then i superlather with soaptopia's eucalyptus and c.o. bigelow.. i always finish with a cold water splash and an ice cube rub.. i also want to fill a scuttle with ice water.. but havn't tried it yet.. normally i use bay rum or old spice.. but i've just been using witch hazel and aloe vera after.. i have even been using my DE and soaking it in cold water while i shower.. the merkur hd feels nice and cool against my hollywood face as i'm shaving.. i really want to get some of that alcolado glacial stuff.

for some reason i have been staying away from my artist club the last few days.. i'm not sure why.. but i have been hesitant to shave with it.. just a feeling i have that i can't ignore.. i have never had a bad shave with it.. but for some reason i took 4 days off from shaving and when i returned i felt as if i wasn't ready to get back to the artist club.. i've learned to always trust my gut.. plus the de is nice when it gets cool..

apologies for going off subject on that last bit. keep your baby bum smooth chin up.
