After my recent issues with soap I decided to test if the irritation on my neck which worsens as the day goes on was due to poor shaving, the soap or alcohol, here are my findings,
I used DR Harris all last week a tallow based soap, my neck was a mess and all weekend painful, tallow based soaps just don't agree with me.
Last night I decided to test the MB non tallow soaps (aged spice), I applied it to my face and left it for 10 minutes, the longer I left it the more it started to burn!
Today I shaved with the MB unscented and used a balm rather than alcohol based aftershave, the result is my first irritation and red free day, to further test this I'm going to stick with this set up for the rest of the week, next week introduce aftershave, then the following week scented MB with no alcohol to confirm if I am sensitive to soaps and aftershave.
Not too fussed about the soap but it'll be a shame if it is the aftershave, there's going to be a healthy list on the BST soon!
