Hi. So I'm new to wet shaving and have done tons of research but I thought the best option would be to join a forum and talk to experienced DE shavers.
So I have an Omega Pro brush
Edwin Jagger 89
Persona blue blades.
I use thayers witch hazel and a few different soaps: Colonial Conk Bay Rum, and my favorite Taylor Of Old Bond St. Herbal Sandalwood
My beard is very coarse and my skin is pretty sensitive, not to shave soaps or creams but it easily gets ingrown hairs on my neck area
a
After about 2 months I can get a close shave WTG and XTG but never ATG. Still I get a smooth close shave but a day later I get some ingrowns.
Does this go away after I get more experienced and my face gets used to it?
Already I have achieved a close shave with little to no irritation which is a huge accomplishment for my face, since when I began it was horrible. But I stuck with it and even learned my beard pattern and that has really helped the situation.
So I'm hoping it's just a matter of experience and my skin getting use to it.
Any tips, suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks guys
