Now on day 50....

I really want to shave everyday, but I do get a touch of razor burn if I do, not visible, just physically there.
So looks like I might stay with every other day for the time being.  Although I say that and then shave anyway.
It is something about the smooth feeling!

Are you using a really cold water rinse after shaving, parky?   That and an application of aloe vera gel should eliminate the razor burn.

I do stand under the cold water in the shower (head only) once shaving is complete and let the skin really tighten up.
I think some of the problem is the coarse hair I have which means to get a really smooth shave I go over some areas quite a few times, maybe I need to lather a bit more.  I also use Kheil's Razor Burn / Bump Stop product which does sting for quite a while. maybe I will drop that today and just try some Witch Hazel.
