I have been DE shaving for about 3 weeks now, and have a few questions.
My set up is;
HD w/Derby blade (switched from Merker yesterday)
Vulfix 377 silvertip
T&H Ultimate Comfort creme
Nivea sensitive balm followed by T&H a/s balm
Shower wash face etc., use conditioner on beard, rinse and leave wet.
Soak brush in hot water, whip up a lather and shave, wtg,xtg and final atg. No nicks, warm then cold rinse, apply the Nivea let it soak in then apply the T&H. Not bbs every time but good enough.The face and neck are red but this fades in about 10 to 15 minutes.
The questions,
When the beard starts to grow out my face itches,whats with that?
Since I have been using the DE, on the sides of my neck just behind the adams apple, just above the collar bone, I have a patch of skin that has what looks like small horizontal bumps, they are not ingrowns. When I stretch the skin a little bit you can feel them, they do not burn or itch. I did not have this when I was using the Mach III. I only shave 3 times a week. I am assuming it has to do with my technique but I don't know what. I don't stretch the skin in this area. I ran an empty razor over them and it almost feel like little speed bumps. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
