The last two shaves have been my best yet in terms of having absolutely no irritation. (usually I have some, even if its just for half an hour).
There were two common factors in the shaves and they were use of a Vokshod blade and perhaps more relevantly my first uses of Myrsol emulsion. I used some as pre shave and also as a post shave moisturizer after using an alcohol based aftershave.
Since I have dryish skin, I tend to need to use either a balm or moisturizer after using any alcohol based aftershave (which I love the feel of in spite of its drying effect). When I used the emulsion, this seemed to do the job of a moisturizer and had a really pleasant cooling effect. Obviously only two shaves in with it, so I suppose that I should reserve judgement but the early signs are that, for me, this could be a great product.
