Omega 10098
Schick G8 Injector
Schick Proline B-20 (1) / Personna (1)
Pheonix and Beau Solaris
Thayers Rose, BBA Post Shave Balm & Brut

Well I was looking forward to my first use of a proline blade and it was a dud! Tried it and removed it several times and it was like shaving with a spork! No edge at all and too lazy to go upstairs to get a new one I used a Personna from Connaughts. Afterwards I have got another proline and loaded it and tested it on my arm. I don't think they come with a blank for the first blade?

Anyway, a superb shave after that and no issues at all. I can look forward to tomorrow's now. I'm fancying an all BBA product shave. ​

Genuine (and no offence intended) question; but you did load it the right way round?
 
A mixed shave today, I have yet to find what is causing me skin issues and I wanted to leave my face a bit longer to recover before my next shave but I was of out for a meal and was looking scruffy.

Pre:

Tesco Pro Formula face scrub

Shave:

Palmolive shave cream
Edwin Jagger DE89
The Personal Barber synthetic brush
Treet Black blade

Post:

RazoRock Dead Sea aftershave
No7 post shave Balm

Just a two pass with the grain to tidy up and hopefully minimise irritation. No bleeders and seems okay.

I used to find that using a facial scrub as prep caused me a fair bit of irritation. I suppose it makes sense; shaving's an exfoliant too. By dropping the scrub and using a good face wash, it helped. Maybe give that a try? I know that for some, the scrub can help ‘lift' the hair. Mileage and all that.

I also cold rinse my razor and my face between passes and at the final rinse. All this has reduced my irritation to virtually zero; providing normal care is exercised.
