The thing that helped me was to understand what 'light pressure' means. I used to handle the razor with too much pressure a long time. Since I just handle the razor like I barely wanna touch the skin, I don't have irritation any more and I get very close shaves since then.
Using an alum block after a rough shave was a game changer for me. Use it after all but the smoothest shaves now.
ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER IS THE ALUM! A lot of these people are claiming to have sensitive skin and I really don't think they do. I look at 99% of them and I would like to have their skin. I swear it's almost like it's a fad these days to claim you have "sensitive skin". They get one ingrown hair occasionally, then claim they have sensitive skin. The number one factor if you'll be born with sensitive skin is if one of your parents has this very *fair* skin.
Now I have *actual sensitive skin.* My mother has it. I have Irish skin. For straight-up reducing razor bumps on your neck and face the absolute best thing you can do is the coldest Water Rinse possible after shaving and most importantly THE ALUM! If you're not using an Alum block, then you're not correctly finishing your shave. And believe it or not, not that many people do?
Its the Single most important thing for anyone who's prone to razor burn. The cooling, stinging sensation Alum has is because of the antiseptic qualities that sooth irritation and kill any bacteria on your face.
If someone is not finishing theie DE shave *with cold water and an Alum Block,* they're making a huge mistake especially if they have sensitive skin...
Man, this is the most helpful shaving video I've ever seen. And I've watch a ton of them in the last month. Thank you so much!
Very informative Matt! Thanks again for another excellent video!
Hi Matt- Great shave; thank you! Lots of great advice for shaving if you have sensitive skin. I hope you have a great weekend ahead. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Matt!
Really appreciate the moments of the video with no background music, you can really hear the effectiveness of the blades
This video saved my skin. especially the cold water shaving. I LOVE shaving now. thank you so much!
Thank you! The products presented here as have been said are game changing! Thanks for teaching me to shave correctly!
Great video Matt! Thank you for all the tips.
One of the best videos on the subject thank you 👍🏼
Honestly Matt you are an wxcellent teacher by rhe way you so simply explain things in details. I learn so much from your videos. Keep it up cos its help so many shavers out there.
Going to try the cold water. I’m new to your channel. I literally have notes of your stuff. Thank you for all of your advice. Being in the military and using cartridges for a long time was trash, so recently switched to wet shaving and and love every part of it just still learning.
Proraso white was my game changer. Same straight razor and same cold water but that pre shave is where all the magic really happens. Thanks Matt!!
The best piece of advice you ever gave me was to use cold water and a sharper blade. I have used this in every shave since and the difference was incredible. Thank you so much Matt for helping me bring the enjoyment to wet shaving.
So happy to hear this and to help!
So. Which blade you use
@@innosanto Gillette 7 o'clock Sharp Edge 'Yellow'.
Warm water makes the beard hair soft.
Thanks for the cold water recommendation, definitely a huge help. I couldn't agree more about shave quality, a good looking and comfortable shave is the sweet spot. Shaves do not need to be glass smooth. You have to shave for yourself, not the opinion of others.
Honestly really good advice man I appreciate it a lot, I’m 27 and dread shaving, I let it grow out and look like a fool, also don’t even have a full beard yet so I felt like I was set to fail from the beginning. Definitely will be purchasing this kit thank you again
Really enjoyed it. Thank You.👍😊
So happy I found this channel - thanks for sharing and thanks for all of the tips! Over the last 5-8 years I went from a beard trimmer for a beard; then switched to shaving the beard into a mustache & a no guard head shave (as I have balded up top).. decided to upgrade the beard trimmer and broke the bank 4 months ago for a braun series 9 for head & face/mustache, and realized - CRAP, how can i edge my mustache lol so I here w/250 less in my bank & bad irritation to the chin/back of head due to dry shaving and missed hairs all over my next... yup... time to invest and research Wet shaving... & boy your channel has helped exponentially.
Such a vast world and can be overwhelming tbh... thanks to you I have narrowed it into a purchase!
Got a rockwell 6c on the way along with some decent products for pre/post w/your recommended brush and i am PUMPED. Wanted to invest more to get the nicer stainless steel razor, but who knows maybe Ill upgrade if it works or find another cool DE razor to add to the collection if I decide this is the route (which I know now is due to the fail of the foil shaver lol maybe I can find some use in a pinch!).
Will 100% continue to watch your videos as i educate myself on more products (creams/soaps/etc) and will expand more into your channel when figuring out the whole "razor" replacement world lol one step at a time! THANKS AND SUBBED!!!
Watched this video yesterday had best shave of my life today. Used cold water and what a difference. No soreness no bloodshed no need for the styptic stick.
Thanks for the video. Lots of useful information.
Thanks for the tips, Matt. Shaving with cold water and a mild razor has certainly helped me. Adding Perma-Sharps to my buy list. :)
Easy easy to watch very informative. Well done presentation so much so that I’m going to look at your kit online =I may buy one.
Just came across this. The 10 day every other day routine with 1 pass was perfect for me. Pretty much just as close as my Gillette 5 blade cartridge was with way less tugging. The last time I tried DE everyone had me convinced that you have to do the 3 pass BBS smooth shave. My face just couldn't handle that. I also love the cold water shave. It really does help. Great suggestions. I'm a DE convert now and have an assortment of blades to try out on my way from you guys as we speak.
Very instructive, sir. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video!!!
I love Proaso products. I have to go with the red tube, Sandalwood. I started shaving with a straight razor back in 2015 and I will never go back. A friend of mine gave me a 1973 Gillette Super Adjuster. I have used it a few times, but I guess I'm stuck on the cut throat.
Subscribed and love the videos!
I had lots of issues with razor burn/rash on my lower neck. The Proraso or PAA Cube help alot, but for me, the key was finding a blade I idn't hate and using an adjustible razor. I find that a Wilkinson Sword works okay for me, and I have a few PolSilver in my cabinet which are my favorite (thanks for the Perma-Sharp recommendation, btw) and adjusting the razor to a lower number for my lower neck was really the key that I was missing. The other two things which worked (an I learned from this channel) were to not go for BBS every time (other people talk about BBS like it is always achievable for every shave), and to grain map the face.
This was a good video, and would actually be a nice "beginner's" video about wet shaving in general. Thanks for sharing!
i stopped going for BBS every time (1.5 passes, not 3). faster shave, my skin is happier, and the blades last longer!
This is amazing. Having sensitive skin, this is the most informative video I have seen so far. Quality videos like this = like, subscribe, customer
I discovered that cold water shaving was the cure for my "sensitive skin." The redness, irritation and rashes ended.
Same here. I have a wire beard and soft skin, which is what led me to using DE and straight razors. That and the fact that cartridges didn't even last a full shave before they were dull, and at nearly $5 per cartridge, I'll pass. Wet shaving was a big improvement, but it wasn't until I took the plunge and started shaving cold - not showering first, and using cold water - that I saw the best results.
@@Joe-ib3bz for me up to now electric machine works better than the acrtridges, or disposables or DEs safety razors I used (aith derby or gilette razor and either gilette quite cheap DE razor, or a cheap shave factory razor) in the future i may try astra or feather blades and maybe another rzor, maybe an adjustable one.
@@innosanto Definitely try a sample pack with a range of aggressiveness before committing to a larger purchase of blades. The feathers are SUPER sharp - so sharp that most people find they get their best shaves with them after they've gotten a shave or several on a blade to dull them down a bit. For me, the best blades on my skin are milder. Astra in the green box has been great in pretty much every razor I've used them in, unless the razor itself was too mild.
@@Joe-ib3bz try wilkinsons(india) they r sharp and smooth it just works the best for me.
@@Joe-ib3bz I don’t find feather blades any better than others. Actually I really can’t tell the difference
Thanks for all the great tips! I have sensitive skin especially below my jawline. Since I am only about 12 shaves into my wet shaving journey, I have going for the 3 pass shave. This has caused a bit of irritation on my neck. I rinse my razor in cold water but I think I’ll try the following: Cold water on my face and only 2 passes on my neck. Hopefully that will do the trick. I like your comment about NOT trying to get a BBS shave when you have sensitive skin. Totally makes sense. I need to dial back that obsession. I do, however, shave every 2nd day which gives my face a chance to settle down. After shave balms really help my skin especially on my neck. Cheers.
Great video! Thank you for being so down to earth. I also have to shave my neck in two or more parts. I’m pretty good at it with a straight razor. I have been learning de and had mixed results. Even using the same razor and blade it varied from super smooth with minimal irritation to bloodbath. I’m pretty sure I started treating my Muhle R41 like a cartridge razor with disastrous results. I will be looking into the cold water variable though. When my Ambassador arrives I will have a shave where I reduce the number for my neck and see how it goes. Thanks again.
That stiptic pencil is great! I also use out to seal up any other cuts or scrapes on my hands and things.
My beard hair is like copper wire so I have to use Feather just to even shave.
Prorasso is an amazing brand. And it smells great!
Matt💈💈 Nice tutorial on sensitive skin shaving using the Proraso White product line. Personally I don't have sensitive skin as a whole but some areas are more prone to irritation. Also I use a multitude of products when shaving as I'm a collector and wet shaving nutcase. I never use the same product(with the exception of a balm)more than once a month or longer, with dozens of soaps, razors, brushes, blades and more, I change products every shave. My routine though is the same every time, consistency is key to good results for me. Proraso Green is my fav of the line but I do want to try the Blue. Thanks again, nice video. Enjoy!
Lots of good tips! When I started out I wrote down every new blade I tries with how it felt. With so many brands and types you forget quickly. And then I got another razor and could almost start over again ;) but after a few years I know my preferences and can get away with a less optimal razor/blade match now my technique is a lot better than when I started.
Bought a muhle r89 last year in the Australian hard state lockdown. Had 5 plus years of 5 blade shaving, when we get out of this 2 week lockdown I will try paraso. Always been on the fence and had sensitive skin for years. I use hot water shaving and I feel fine but thanks Matt you've sold me and I'll use cold water.
The absolute game-changer for me after wet shaving for a few years was-and I think you’ll like this-getting a Gillette Tech!!! My god what a wonder. Even with my Muhle R89 and the ubiquitous Merkur 34C I would often get irritation, but now using the relatively mild Tech paired with a Feather blade I’m getting a way more comfortable shave. I would say my skin is quite sensitive and my beard hair is coarse
This was such good advice and I learned a lot about the importance of going slowly with the razor, stretching my skin slightly, aiming for a clean first pass (by treating first pass as if it was the only pass I can have, makes a huge difference, then the other passes become so much easier), following only the grain, and lastly knowing that it’s more important to have a healthy shave rather than a deep-cut one. Thank you so much! :)
I have allergies and very sensitive skin. Your video really helped! Thanks!
The Proraso white shaving cream I ordered from your site works great for me. I haven't tried the pre-post stuff you put on before the cream yet but as soon as I finish typing this I'm going to your site to order some.
I have tried the Proraso after-shave balm. It's lightly scented. I love the scent but unfortunately I seem to be allergic to it. I wish Proraso made a balm that's completely unscented. The Nivea after-shave lotion from Target is the best I've found so far. It's scented too, but not as heavily.
Nice shave Matt, and thanks for the tips! I have also found the Perma-Sharp to be my favorite blade. 👍

Like your advice about not always going for the closest possible shave. Once I stopped always pursing BBS my shaves got a whole lot better. And my skin is a whole lot happier.
What works for me as a straight razor shaving person. Proraso pre-shave. Taylor of old bond street shaving cream sandalwood. Proraso balm for sensitive skin after the shave. The Taylor of old bond street is the most supportive foam that I have found which prevents nicks. Also lather up then go strop that razor then lather again...great thick supportive cream letting that cream gel up some! Good stuff! I found Proraso sensitive skin cream to be ok (but second place), not as supportive as Taylor on old bond street. Thanks Matt for the great videos and great help!
I've been switched to cold water instead of hot water (after originally hearing it from you when this video was uploaded!) and that cleared up any issues I had with redness or bumps. I also stopped doing 3 passes; I had always seen 3 passes done on UA-cam, so I assumed that's the way it had to be done. Two passes and I'm good to go :)
So happy you did what works for you!
Just got this today! Excited to see how these products and cold water will help with ingrowns! Astra blades seem the best for my beard
I previously used shave oil but would make hands slippery for the razor. Proraso and the Cube by PAA are my go-to’s before lathering up. Good grip on hands for the razor and pulling the skin tight in certain areas.
Yup. Pressing the R41 like a cartridge razor is definitely bad technique! I did just get a great shave with it using an Astra Super Platinum blade by just barely grazing over two day old whiskers. Two passes and done. I got a really smooth shave with no nicks or irritation! Thanks again.
My neck couldn't tell the difference between tugging and nicks. I just solved that by pairing a mild razor with an aggressively sharp blade! Thanks for mentioning that blades can deposit rust! I now remove it and stick it on a magnet for later use.
Great shave Matt
I'm about 3 months into using a safety razor for the first time. So far, so good. Coarse whiskers, soft skin and a Henson. Thanks for the tips on razor maintenance and techniques. I'd already started doing single pass shaves to cut down on irritation - it's not like I'm trying to impress anyone.
My face feels better than after using a cartridge razor. Over six decades down, and I'm finally trying something new.
When I started Traditional wet shaving I had irritation and realized it was the soap I was using, I changed to this exact routine that you are using Matt and it was a game changer for me. Proraso (White) is truly some incredible products.
Wow! I started using cold water and I'm getting the closest shaves and no irritation. Wish I'd learned this ages ago!
My best advice against irritation for people with sensitive skin is a skin stretching. It's very important. Because your skin is like a wobbly gel with copper wires inserted in it. What happens when you shave unstretched skin. This gel wobbles and creates "skin peaks". This wobbling and skin peaks always leads to irritation. By stretching the skin you eliminate this wobbling and peaks. Always use stretching when you shave. Try to pull your skin in as many parts of your face as you can. The easiest way to pull the skin while your face is covered with shaving soap. Is to dab your fingers against a wet alum block. Try it for yourself. You'll be surprised. How grippy your fingers become. Use only natural alum blocks such as OSMA. Watch youtube videos of barber shaving. It will show you how to stretch your skin. My second best advice. Try to use the lightest pressure or only weight of your razor even if it's plastic. Grip your razor near the bottom of the handle and let the head tilt to your skin. Try proraso green pre shave, but not the white one. Use OSMA alum block after the shave. Alum block will heal your skin and give you feedback where you pushed too hard on a razor. Cold water shaves for me aren't eliminating the chance of getting cut. Cold water shave - is very uncomfortable during and after the shave. My head always feeling numb after cold water shaves. It's a super uncomfortable feeling. Warm water shaves very comfortably with the same chance of getting cut. 18:40 - Matt, why are you using tweezers to squeeze the retention clip? You can easily do it with two fingers.
Slippery fingers and I didn't want to fumble with it on camera. Tool got it done in seconds.
@Holy the cold water makes the hair stand up and make your hair easier to shave. A shower beforehand will still help you get a comfortable shave.
Matt, nice video. I recently came off a three week higheatist from wet shaving because of really bad skin irritation. I have sun damage on my face from sunbathing in my youth. As a result, my skin is very sensitive to any type of shaving changes. In my pursuit of finding what works for me I went from using the Parker 92R to the Rockwell 6C along with changing my razor blade to the Lord Platinum razor blades. The razor and blade change made a huge difference in delivering a comfortable shave. However, there were still other variables that were causing me discomfort. I noticed that brush I was using, the Parker Black Badger, was giving me a scratchy feel when I lathered my face, to the point of being irritating. In addition to the brush I noticed that the shave soap I was using, Barbershop by Stirling, was also giving me some irritation. I recently ordered a synthetic brush to replace the badger brush and I am using Cella instead of the Stirling Barbershop. When it comes to essential oils and fragrances a lot of "Fragrance Oils" added to soaps to create a scent include Oak Moss. France has limited the use of Oak Moss because of skin sensitivity to it in about 30% of the people using fragrances that contain Oak Moss. I am assuming that Oak Moss is the source of the soap irritation for me. I have also tried the Proraso shave soap, as opposed to the shave cream, for sensitive skin. I found the shave soap provides a great shave, however the post shave feel that I get leaves my face very dry feeling. My son uses the shave cream and he swears by it's slickness and post shave feel. As you indicated in the video, take the time to find what works for you and stick with it. In my case, this will take a little more time than most other people. God bless, be safe and stay healthy.
Dude, hiatus.
@@johnnyregs2378 I wondered that too, made me chuckle a bit. Hooked on phonics, I guess.
An old girlfriend of mine used to shave her legs using cold water. She told me to do the same on my face and it'll reduce or help eliminate irritation. I've been doing it every time I shave ever since. It's normal to me.
Great video thanks 😊
To combat sensitive skin, I started shaving once a week/5 days. Coldwater as Matt advised and used an Alum block to get feedback for next time.
For years I shaved "blind" in the shower--cartridge razor in my right hand and a dollop of extra lather in my left. Shaving without a mirror helped me learn and memorize my grain pattern.
i just switched to a safety razor compared to multi blade and it really helped me for my skin and i really like the feel of the single edge
Finally tried cold water (I think originally the advice was from Sharpologist but I didn't try it back then).
seems to have helped.
Still experimenting with the preshaves - proraso seems to be good as any.
Also a little counterintuitively, it seems that shaving more often lowers the irritation. My rationale after-the-fact is that there is less growth that is easier for the blade to handle and there's less pulling and tugging.
Still trying out different blades, the Bevel is definitely a pleasant surprise.
My skin is not sensitive, but I do have problematic skin conditions: My skin dries very quickly (took Accutane when I was young) and I have rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis. My facial hair is not particularly dense, but it is coarse. So for me a mild razor (the usual suspects) and sharper blade (Feather is too sharp for me) works very well. I can use a Merkur slant with a mid-aggression blade such as a Shark Chrome, but not on a daily basis. The Progress also works well for me, but I haven't found the right blade or setting yet. For soap I avoid cologne scents as they will irritate my skin over time. I prefer Proraso White or a cream with an almond or light citrus scent. In general, creams are gentler on skin than hard soaps. For aftershaves I gravitate towards lightly scented balms while avoiding alcohol as an ingredient. Or sometimes I just massage in some jojoba oil mixed with shea butter. Since I avoid aftershave splashes, I use Thayer's cucumber witch hazel as a toner. One-pass shaves just don't work for me; instead, I do a two-pass shave: First pass with the grain and the second pass at a 45 degree angle to the grain (XTG pass will lead to bumps in some areas and razor burn in others). I lightly stretch the skin as I find that this helps the razor glide more smoothly across the skin, which results in less irritation. I've tried oil as a pre-shave, but I don't care for it. Pre-shave creams such as Proraso do work well, especially during the drier months. For brushes, I avoid brushes with scratchy bristles. Soft synthetic brushes work best for me. If I need a stiffer brush for harder soaps, then the Omega Hi-Brush synthetic will do the job well. Or their imitation boar brush (synthetic knot) works well for me with a variety of soaps and creams.
Thanks for the video. I learned a few things and you answered some questions that I've had.
This is great info. thanks
Well that’s fantastic lol pulled out the Leatherman and fixed it on the spot Who else thought that was pretty cool. Another great video as always 😎👍
Great tips Matt, I'll try cold water, skin irritation for me is killing my straight razor enjoyment.
I get the best shaves with the Proraso Sensitive skin line and a Merkur Progress. Great recommendation.
Great video, I couldn’t add a thing!
Talkum poweder was my fix for my bumps ! so glad i found out about it ... first i used babypowder until i found out about actual barbergrade stuff with nice smells
I just learned about de shaving its making me rethink the full beard due to sensitive skin
I've got gray in my beard too, I love the look of it!!
You are so right about blades. I got some Feather's, first two shaves always give me burn then as the blade dulls it gets better. Feather is not the blade for me. RK's are better for me.
I overcome my sensitive skin with a Henson medium razor and PAA software (CK-6 soap and mysterium serum balm). Best post shave feel I've ever had...
oh and of course the big one enjoy your shave don’t see it as a choir see it as a zen moment to look after yourself a little bit of you time . it may take a little bit longer but your worth it 👍👍👍
I have officially fallen down the rabbit hole, was deciding to try something new after using Dollar Shave club for years, now I’m pretty much convinced I need to get into DE. Hopefully soon I’ll be building out a new routine for myself
It’s funny to hear the song they played in the background, i know a podcast or two that use that same track
After watching your video, I came across a Proraso Sensitive skin kit on Amazon. A few dollars less than buying them separately plus you get a nice tin can with the kit.
Cold water and a single layer pass with a sharp DE blade, along with the Proraso white line keep my face irritation free. I use an alum block for the nicks because it doesn’t leave chalky residue and then I wash it off. The Proraso white aftershave is not greasy, either. It smells good and gets absorbed by the skin.
For razor burn, I apply beard oil. It seems to help. My theory is that air irritates the burn but the oil blocks air from touching the skin. Just a theory.
Also, my wife tends to clean and organize the bathroom. So I never leave a blade in the razor for fear she'll absent mindedly grab my razor and slice herself badly.
I have semi sensitive skin so I use a pre shave oil, shave soap, and when finishing up, I use after shave alcohol and an aftershave balm
very nice video. only thing i would add to that MAP YOUR GRAIN as you said most important. i thought i has sensitive skin . but i think it was because i was shaving against the grain on my neck in places on the first pass . once i had sorted that out no problem. and as you say don’t chase that bbs . if you get it great if you don’t mabey the next time . big issue for me was over shaving . and last but not least give it time . it will take your face a little while to get used to a different type of shaving . oh and last last bit not least NO PRESSURE OR VERY LITTLE ON THE RAZOR . another one of my mistakes in the start 👍👍
Just can't go wrong with Proraso. For blades, I've found that the Personna Blue works exceedingly well for me, and also offers good longevity. Usually get five to seven comfortable shaves from blade, flipping after each shave.
IMHO all below maybe helpful:
Cold water
Shower before shaving
Preshave
Razor/blade right pairing
That said.. Some products work better with sensitive skin:
Razors:
RR SLOC
Blades:
Derby
Soaps:
Mitchell's
P.160
Proraso white
Hope that was helpful
You talk with logic.. 👍
I need this!!!
Hardest Thing about wet shave for me was the brush honestly. I can only use synthetic, I get bad reactions from boar, badger and horse brushes.
Plissoft Razorock and Rockwell are my go to. Figuring that out was the worst. 🤕
I love proraso tube cream and pre shave. Love My Col conk 704 / JE DE clone razor, its surprisingly close for an all around razor. Finish my face off with Duke cannon cooling balm. Mid day splash with skin bracer from an airline shampoo bottle.
I used to always get irritation on my neck and could never figure out why. I always shaved down on my neck because that was what I was always told to do. Turns out, my hair grain was different. Once I started shaving my neck in a different direction, it was night and day!
I use Aveeno shave gel (Aveeno has two versions of the their shave gel, Therapeutic and positively smooth love both) Love de shaving, I remember mom giving me my first shave with my grandfather's shaving products extremely comfortable smooth shave, Although after that I bought Gillette sensor xl with Gillette shave gel, Looking back on that I definitely recall of lots of irritation and itchiness, I've tried lots of options with I was starting out, Nowadays I traditional wet shave no more irritation...
Is this kit good for first timer , skin not super sensitive but proudly leans more to sensitive than not . TYVM for your time and help . Saw the Hanson razor ad which made me think of double edge shaving and I found your channel .
Sound advice on the adjustable razor and cold water. It seems to be making a difference for me after only a few shaves. I'm also finding that going with a slightly more watered leather can be useful with a very mildly set razor when you need to shave consecutive days.
Great info video. I have fair hair sentivive skin, fine hair. New to safety razor shaving. I normally shave every 2nd or 3rd day, my facial hair matches my skin hard to see. Should I stick to this routine or shave daily thanks would love to have a walk in shop, instead of online. My new shaving gear come with a sample bag of shavers but all super sharp. Thanks
Never heard of cold water before...I'll have to try that. I've used Proraso white label before but just the soap puck. Never thought to check into that shaving cream before.
Proraso sensitive skin products and cold water shaving cured my irritated
Happy to hear!!!
My biggest annoyance has been if I only shave WTG it looks like I haven’t shaved at all. The hair around my mouth is thick and dark while my skin is light.
It’s been so annoying that prior to DE shaving, I’d just pluck the hairs every day to appear clean shaven, otherwise it’d look like I had a goatee.
Now I’m trying to split the difference with XTG passes and a sensitive skin routine. Hardest part is just accepting the look of it. Jealous of people who can appear clean shaven with a WTG pass.
I prefer boar hair brush. I am not super sensitive but sometimes my skin is reactive to more aggressive blades and occasionally I get ingrowns on my neck. In my experience boar prevents those more. Not that badger doesn't work, but I just prefer a more exfoliant feel. I do 1 or two passes. And I do more cold to lukewarm water.
The one biggest thing I always use is a Pre shave.
When I clean my Rex Razor I use Q Tips and rubbing alcohol to absorb any moisture inside of the handle.
Is the list of comparative razor blade sharpness shown in this video on Razor Emporium's webpage? If I recall correctly from an earlier video, the list doesn't distinguish between Personna Reds and Blues.
Although I have an opinion on how the Reds & Blues compare, I'd be grateful for Razor Emporium's. Best wishes.
Hello Matt, Are their any good sensitive skin shaving creams that don't have any fragrance and don't have any witch hazel or menthol? I know the JoBS has organic cream with no fragrance but I'm trying to cut back on my plastic consumption. Thanks you. Keep up the great work and education.
thanks for the helpfull guide. ive got eczema, and this results in me being sensitive to alot of the chemicals in most shaving and skin care products, even if im not having any visible symptoms (most of the time). i cant use regular shaving creem, lotion, etc. I also shave my head which is more sensitive than my face. I've found that eucerin eczema lotion for babies is the best lotion for my sensitive skin, face or otherwise.
I also have eczema (but fortunately not on my face). What really helped me a lot was using shower gel and hand soap that did not include sodium lauren sulphate (SLS) as it is a skin irritant. I found out about that from the British eczema foundation.
@@petekadenz9465 thanks for the info
I really like the tube Proraso white! I know brush is preferred by many, but I really like putting a dab on my hands. I rub my hands together together to make my lather then rub then work work on to my face.
I forgot to mention… part of the reason I do what I do… I am allergic to animal hair.
The day I shave I’m fine, it’s the day after that is terrible! Especially around my neck
I fixed my issues with sensitive skin. I switched to Williams Mug soap. The slickness of Williams means I can shave over the same area again and even use a more aggressive Razor. I get BBS now with zero irritation. I'm not using Proraso anymore the slickness just isn't there. You have to keep reapplying it. With Williams you have residual slickness that holds up to multiple passes. I have similar results with Arko.
Happy it's working for you :)
@@RazorEmporium Thanks. I really wanted to like Proraso but it stinks it wasn't keeping it's slickness. The lather kept drying on my skin no matter how much water I added. By the third pass it was basically just cushion and zero slickness.
As good as the cold water tip is good , not going for bbs makes sense. Thanks.
I bought a de89 and green astra blades and was getting awful neck irritation, I let my beard grow out for 5 days and tried a feather blade with cold water and had no irritation. I also just did 1 pass but with the feather it was like I did 2.
I’m having flashbacks of Family Guy. Cool Hwip. Stewie mean Cool Whip. That’s what I said Brian….Cool Hwip.
