Hello all, I've been on and off with using a double edge for a couple of years now - letting what I'd hesitate to call a beard grow in the intermediate time. I've recently begun shaving again and noticed that I'm getting a lot of irritation - blotchy skin and so on, redness in places, a rash on a section of my neck.
As far as I'm aware, my technique is fairly accurate and I'm using decent products (either TOBS or Wool Fat pre-shave and Bluebeard's Revenge afterwards, with a styptic for any nicks), so are there any tips for making the redness go away? Maybe my skin just needs to get used to it again? Maybe I'm making a grave mistake with my razor that I just haven't noticed?
