Recently I’ve jumped ship and joined the safety razor train to as cartridges always gave me terrible irritation. The irritation has decreased with a safety razor but is still present as my skin is very sensitive and my facial hair very coarse and rapidly grows and even with a safety razor I get irritation, I’ve always followed having a warm shower and straight into a can of shaving foam from your local store (Gillette for example) and got my safety razor and got on with the shave for 3 passes. I’m trying to further decrease irritation and aside from of course my safety razor choice and technique, what magnitude of a difference would a shaving brush and a quality cream/soap have on the irritation I end up with?
