Everyone skin is different. XTG bothers my skin more then ATG. I can easily do WTG and ATG every day without issue, but I have been going for the trifecta every morning for about a week and haven't had issues. As always YMMV
Ouch!!!

And tone down the hot water. Try tepid or even cold water. It can't hurt you any worse.
Thanks for the info guys! I am new to DE shaving (about 2 weeks) and have been struggling with the irritation and nicks. I definitely notice the most irritation when I shave XTG and ATG to satisfy my perfectionism. It looks like I will need to go to a couple of passes WTG for a while until I get more practice! (And deal with not having a perfectly BBS shave).
This is an awesome site - I have always hated shaving, but I feel there is hope!

skip the ASB and use an aftershave splash. will help quite a bit. wont dry your skin like a lot of people think.
and do a 2 pass shave. Dont care how you do the passes, but once you do two, PUT THE RAZOR DOWN!

I had nothing to do with it.
+1.. what are those, bumps or nicks? You should really give that skin time to heal. Just go WTG only the next week or so.
