Dear members,
So I'm about to purchase my first DE shaving gear after some research, probably next monday (original topic: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=204974 , help still much appreciated for what gear and products to purchase). Currently my face is a mess due to bad shaving in the past. There are ALOT of shaving bumps, ingrown hairs and irritation around the throat area. As far as I can tell, there's no acne. I know most of you guys aren't dermatologists but what do you guys recommend before starting my first DE shave. Just let the beard accumulate for a few days and give the skin rest? And if there's still some irritation left when I start, just be careful around those areas?
Thanks in advance!
