For the past couple of weeks, I've been using JoAnna's soaps almost exclusively. Outstanding shaves. Today, with one of the highly regarded T's, umm, not so much! Haven't had this much irritation in, oh, a couple of weeks.



This afternoon, FLOID arrived!

 

USE IT NOW, Irritation be gone. :1respect

 

Not bad. Thanks. Now my EYES are burning (really)!

Gillette Mach3 Turbo
Crabtree & Evelyn Best Badger
T&H Luxury Shave Soap
Mama Bear's Summer Aftershave Milk - Peppermint

After not getting a good shave a few days in a row, I kept getting it in my head that I could get a better shave with the Mach3 so I tried it. It turns out that the same problem spots I have with the DE, I also have with the Mach3. The funny thing is, before I started shaving with a DE this problem spot wasn't there.
I had three passes WTG, XTG, ATG and my chin still has stubble. :mad: :mad:

At least I can continue on with the DE without wondering about it.
