Little offtopic but related. I don't want to start a new thread just for this.
I'm using a safety razor since january. I like it but I find it irritates the skin more than the disposable ones. but maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'm using a generic foam, should I use some kind of soap? would it lubricate better?
I don't take care about my skin after shave. should I use some creams or something? I only shave once a month, so it wouldn't be a problem.
