    Default Lots of bumps and zits on my chin

    I'm still pretty new to the straight razor scene, and had my 5th shave yesterday. Things have been progressing well (read here) and I got a decent shave.

    However, this morning my chin had lots of red bumps and 4-5 white heads. I'll get the occasional white head and zit, but never 4-5 at once, and certainly not accompanied by a dozen red bumps.

    Shaving the chin has always been a pain, its improving with each shave, but I might be going a little heavy handed. I noticed that with the harder areas I tend to put pressure on my skin, where as the easy areas I keep the feather touch.

    Here is the stuff I've been using:
    Dovo Prima, sharpened by Lynn, shaved with 4 times. Stropped before and after each shave.
    Mitchell's Wool Fat soap
    Dominica Bay Rum aftershave
