Overkill. Too much shaving for your face right now. To the extent the Clearasil may be drying your skin, it could be making matters worse.
Personally, I would go with only WTC until your face adjusted to this. My two cents.
I have had the same thing happen to me. I have a heavy beard, but my skin is sensitive particularly on the neck. Sometimes it's a dull blade that causes it or I'm not paying attention and I use too much pressure, sometimes my neck just gets cantankerous, and I just have to give it a day off.
+1. . For me, the most sensitive area is my neck. I have hairs growing in every direction on my neck and very sensitive skin there.
In addition, to preparation, blade angle, and no pressure, what I do after shaving is important. First, I soak my face in cold water. Next comes a splash of Thayers' Rose Petal witch hazel which I gently massage onto my face. Almost immediately I feel relief. After a few minutes I follow it up with a skin moisturizer if my skin is still irritated. GFT has some good products (Coral Skin Food and Extract of Lime Skin Food). I also use a moisturizer my wife uses. It contains Hyaluronic Acid which holds 1,000X its weight in water and is very soothing. The product I use is expensive but lasts a very long time.
The result is that any bumps or irritation disappear.
