Thanks for the reply. I am on the list for the Fatboy adjustable so will have that in a few weeks so probably best to wait for that. Thanks for the offer though. Regarding blades then I have Astra SP, Astra SS, Feather, Vokshod, Lord Platinum, Gillette Yellow. If you have a few others that you think may benefit me then would appreciate trying a few. Also I have loads of the Astra SP that I could send to you in return if you want any.

I see no mention of your pre shave routine. Let us know what you do 'pre shave' so as we can offer some hopefully helpful additional advice.
If you don't prepare your beard, you can end up with a disaster. As with all things, prep is crucial.
You seem to be well covered for offers of hardware help. I would also say that the cream can also be an irritant. I have a skin like a rhino...but sometimes creams with essential oils can cause me problems which result in a less than comfortable shave. May I suggest that you try the lowly Palmolive cream. Cheap as chips and comfortable in use.
+ 1 on giving it a week for your skin to heal itself & +2 goes to the generous member who sent you the Gillette Tech, A superb razor..it'll provide you with some excellent shaves, with the right choice of blade, when your skin has healed correctly.Hi All,
Well had 2 things delivered today off a few members and very grateful. Part of the package was a Gillette Tech.
My face felt much better so decided to do either 1 pass or 2 passes WTG (would decide after pass 1)
Gillette Tech
Brand New Rapira Blade
Fine Platinum Soap
First Pass - went very good. Its definitely not aggressive but felt lovely on my face and seemed to take 90% as much stubble as the other razors I have in the first pass.
Second Pass - hmmm, definitely felt more raw this time.
I think for how mild this razors reputation is and how good this soap is (was very slick as the cream came off) I think its just my face not healed enough yet.
Will give it a good week, and then update again with another shave with the same.

Great advice.Bro just do one pass for a while don't try two, it'll let your face get used to it and improve your technique. When you can shave every day with one pass try two if you need to.
