You could try a cold water shave, a new Astra in the EJ89 with as you say just one WTG pass, although I dont cold water shave some say it reduces irritation no end. Good luck.Had a terrible shave on Monday with my R41 - I think it was a bluntish Astra that was the problem. Obviously it could not have been my technique or over shaving or anything like that...ahhem. Anyway it's left me with razor burn. Now normally I wouldn't bother shaving for 4/5 days to let it settle BUT I have to go to an important business meeting tomorrow and I can't really go looking like a caveman so I will have to have a shave..
So, guys what do you recommend? I think probably a Wilkinson Sword classic or EJ89 with a TOBS cream and a Derby and just doing one (WTG) pass. Any ideas welcomed!
Cheers.

Does the aspirin paste actually work ? I've seen this mentioned a few times and am a tad curious. Might have to give it a whirl.Someone suggested to me when I was first starting to pick up some aspirin and make a paste with a bit of water. Spread that over the affected area and that should help reduce the razor burn a bit... Do the same again in the morning before shaving and maybe after and you might just stave off some of the redness for the shave and potentially the meeting.
As for mild razors, that's up to you but I've heard the EJ89 types are particularly mild. Definitely one pass if you're feeling the effects of Monday's shave.
Hope you manage alright and good luck tomorrow!
In theory, absolutely. In practice, I'm not sure as I've not given it a go.Does the aspirin paste actually work ? I've seen this mentioned a few times and am a tad curious. Might have to give it a whirl.
