Forum GOD!
So had my first shave with two unknowns: Ikon SBS razor, paired with a Gillette Nacet Stainless blade.
These are both new to me, heard good things about both, so thought I'd team them up.
Had the worst shave ever since starting DE shaving, over 1 year ago.
Using Proraso white pre shave, soap & balm.
The bottom plate was on the "milder" setting and used the safety bar option.
Cuts everywhere, blood and very raw, red skin.
Not even little weepers but full on gashes!
Taken a whole day for my skin to recover.
I like to think my technique is pretty much dialled in now.
Is it the razor? Is it the blade? Or is it the combination of both??
I will try them both out in different pairings, but has anyone experienced similar results?
Any recommendations gratefully received.
