Hi all. I'm coming off the worst two shaves I've had in my short (3 months) experience with DE shaving.
The first shave was totally my fault. On Monday morning I was in a rush, just washed my face and slapped on some Billy Jealousy Hydroplane that I wanted to try. Grabbed my Gillette SuperSpeed with a Silver Blue blade, and hacked away. Not to get too gross, but I looked like Hannibal Lecter right then, and took awhile to staunch the bleeding. :eek2:
This morning ( I shave every other day) I washed my face, applied some unlathered cream for pre-shave, put a new blade (Gillette 7 o'clock Yellow) , lathered the cream and took my time. To my dismay the same result, lots of blood . But it seemed to me to be roughly in the same spots.:crying:
Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what I was wondering is should I allow a certain amount of time for my face to heal? What would be the best amount of time to wait before shaving again?
Thanks for input...
