I have been wet shaving for a little over a month now, and have been loving it, until today. I have been using a Merkur HD with a Derby blade with some success. I was using proraso and RS up until a few days ago when my order of EJ Sea Buckthorn came in.
I think I did everything right. The first few shaves went well. Noticed a bit of burn yesterday. After my shave this morning I have razor bumps for the first time since I started wet shaving. The bumps are only on one side of my neck but the other side feels a bit of burn too. I use RS aftershave lotion to finish off, because it provides a lot of moisturizer.
When lathering the soap I made sure to put lots of product on the brush. I then added about 4 or 5 good drops of water. I understand there is a learning curve to lathering soap but it seemed fine to me.
I'll take a day or two off shaving now. I'm not sure at this point if it's a sensitivity to the soap or I did something wrong. The bumps are only on one side of my neck.
