Hi,
I just started shaving with a DE razor, and i get really nasty razor burn.
I have the Merkur 34C and have been shaving with a feather blade.
I just completed my second shave with the new razor, and my face got red, hot and really irritated. I even got several cuts
I use a good shaving soap from Edwin Jagger, and a good badger brush, and before my shave i even had a bath.
Before my switch to DE i used a pretty blunt gillette fusion and regular hand soap, and i never got burns or cuts.
I have watched mantics videos on youtube, so i know the basics of wet shaving, so i can't understand why my face reacts like this.
Could it be that the blade is too sharp? I just took out the feather blade and swtched it with the merkur blade that came with the razor. I guess i will be trying it in a couple of days.
But please, give me advice and tips!
