odm....welcome 2 the sly fraternity. glad that ya found us and glad 2 know that the schick razor does the job. in order 2 keep the razor burn 2 a minimum...IMMEDIATELY after headshaving...try doing a cold water rinse, followed by an ice cube rub until it melts, towel (pat dry), and apply tn dickinson's witch hazel, keep on for about 3-5 minutes and apply aloe vera gel (u might want 2 place it in the fridge). i'm sure you'll get more tips but hope this helps ya out. anyways...hope U stick around & B an active member of the best site on the internet.

Welcome to the SBG family odm,
   There are alot of great guys on this forum, and we're glad you've joined us. As for the razzor burn question, I don't tend to get the razzor burn on my head, but I certainly do in my face, mainly around my neck. After I joined this forum quite a while ago, I found out about alot of other products out there that I never new about, and got alot of tips in the "Your Shave Routine" thread.
   So what I found that realy works for me is, I use a combination of things like: Shave Oil, I apply a little shave oil on my face first and let it soak in a little first (30 secconds or so) then I apply my favorite shave cream ( Head Slick by HeadBlade ) then shave by going with the grain first, then I'll re- apply the shave oil, and the shave cream, and go against the grain, and I'm good to go.
   Oh another great tip I learned from this site, is don't shave right after you wake up, wait atleast a half hour or hour if you can, and what I do is take a damp towel and place it in the microwave for about 30 - 45 secconds and place it on my face and head, to help soften the hairs and to open up my poures, before doing any of the above, I do this because I am a sink shaver not a shower shaver. If you are a shower shaver you can skip this step, because the steam from the shower will open your pourse.

Hope this helps.
Tom.

Odm, welcome to Sly Bald Guys!

What type of shaving cream do you use? What's your routine? Answering these questions will help us to determine what might be causing your burn.

Welcome, odm, greetings from another Quattro user. I also seem to have sensitive skin, especially on my neck. I have recently reverted back to using my Braun electric for face shaving. I seem to get less irritation and redness.

Odm, welcome to the SBG's. You may want to try a cold rinse as suggested by the "hawk", and I would also recommend the witch hazel too. I use it and it really soothes. Follow up your shave with a good moisturizer like Headlube (matte or glossy) or BaldGuyz moisture gel. All work very well and complete the shave.
Let us know how it goes for you.

Welcome odm. I can't advise much on the shaving thing. My skin's so tough I could use a grinder and it wouldn't matter much. I just use water, a little soap and a fusion.
