So I shaved with my new (to me) Shumate yesterday, while employing the lathering method you guys put together here, with a Proraso pre-shave and Stirling Sharp Dressed Man tallow soap. I finally "got it" ; good glide, excellent cushion, the razor cut through my beard like butter. Everything went great. I followed up with an alum block, which turned out to be unnecessary, and Captain's Choice Bay Rum aftershave. Thinking I did perfectly, I went on about my day.
The minute I walked outside, however, my neck broke out. It was still smooth, no bleeding, but the skin appeared to be quite irritated. Red blotches all over. So my question is- Is there anything I could have done to prevent this, or am I just a casualty of the environment? The 90 degree, high-humidity nature of St. Louis is unforgivable in the summer, but I can't recall whether or not my skin did this with m3 blades. I already use a cold water rinse to try to tighten the pores back up after the shave before the splash,.. I don't know. Any suggestions?

Great Shave, but still irritated...
