hello,
tonight was my seventh shave with my DE overall and it was the first one without irritation afterwards.
the whole procedure was as usual: starting from shower and finishing by shave. the only difference I tried - the cold (instead of hot) water usage after the lather was created. will check later was it my better technique or the cold water what did the trick.
I did 2-3 passes shave without going ATG, just WTG and XTG. it is not BBS yet, but after reading lots of threads I understood that this should be my next level goal. not at this stage yet when the main goal is to get irritation free shave.
the gear:
Preshave: Shower and Coconut oil
Razor: Merkur 23c
Blade: Merkur (the one found in the box with the razor | second shave with the same blade)
Brush: Omega Boar 10066 (think it is starting to break in finally as I get much better lather than before)
Soap: Tabac (love the scent. I keep it open during the days for having nice scent around)
Aftershave: Alum rock + Florida Water
