Newbie Razor Burn -- sort of

[GencoOliveOilCompany]

Probably too many passes, blindmouse. Limit yourself to 2 passes with the grain until to get the hang of it. It'll happen naturally.

I've been doing 1 wtg, and 1 xtg. I will try going down to 2 wtg for a while.

I had a similar problem......found out that my redness was caused by using an alum bar which was setting off a mild case of rosacea which I didn't know I had. Different products can cause rosacea flare ups. Could that be causing the redness?

[blindmouse]

Nope -- only tried the alum bar once and that was today actually. In a few days I'm going fishing for a week and likely won't touch a razor. When I come back I'll hopefully have a clean slate to start a new round trial and error.
