Now you need shaving facecloths too.lol
Point# 4 might have helped.shaving up towards the chin.Lekker shave this evening and no rash
I did something right
All I changed was-
1.I used a pre shave soap before hand. (Softens the hairs and helps razor glide over skin to prevent friction)
2.I used my new 37C slant Razor (which cuts more like a guillotine when cutting the hairs)
3.I used a Feather Blade (sharper blades)
4.I cut my neck area WTG (with the Grain) first which is upwards for me.
Now I got a winning combo but would still like to determine what was the winning trick.
Next shave will use a Normal Safty Razor and use everything else and technique as this evening and see if no rash appears again.

I think it also might have been this.
Alot of us dont pay attention to the direction of beard growth.
What I will do is shave with exactly the same equipment as on my previous shave and just change the direction as I did today and see if the rash doesnt appear.
Also on the next occasion before you shave. keep your shaver under extremely hot water. Or pour boiling water into your cup with the shaver inside and wait till the water cools a little. It kills off the nasty's that acuminate after using it.
I usually just rinse her under Hot water but I think your way will be much more hygienic @Resistance , will stick the razor in with the brush soaking next time.
Thanks for the tip.
My neck also grows up, go WTG and apply alum, I'm sure it would be better
The alum does burn, but if it burning too much you are either applying too much pressure when shaving or going against the grain.
But enjoy the burn, it's fun lol. Wash off with cold water once done.
Oily bits of your face really benefit from a nice alum rub as well. Even if it's only for a while
30hrs to go till the next shave...
This is worse then watching grass grow

You guys are lucky, to stay clean shaven I needed to shave daily. Sometimes twice of there was an evening function.30hrs to go till the next shave...
This is worse then watching grass grow
Now as I am just doing upper cheek and neckline I have to shave every second day or else it looks terrible, but I could still shave daily.
Its not as fun as you imagine...
Placed an order for this baby today:30hrs to go till the next shave...
This is worse then watching grass grow
Waiting till Friday to get it is like watching grass grow while drying paint.
Actually its a pity i did not see this one before ordering the other one that has also not yet arrived.
Also hav a question. How does one use an “alum?” Stone?
Regards
That's one hell of a nice looking safety razor. Dont forget to post your shave mail... i have major fomo right now
The alum block is very easy to use, after your shave rinse your face with water then just rinse the Alum block under hot water for couple seconds (2-3) and proceed too rub the block over the shaved areas and enjoy the burn
Once you rubbed it for a couple of seconds (30) then just rinse the block again and pack away.

Nice, is it a Gillete super Speed?
Gillete just released a new model called the Heritage. They haven't released or sold a new safety razor since 1998 .
That's fantastic to hear.
Love using the after shave balms, leave my skin feeling so soft and fresh.
If anyone orders from Jaco again, you must try the rooibos body soap. Jaco sent me a sample and i tried it out. I usually HATE perfumed body soap, but this is intoxicating
I was actually looking at their body soaps and shampoo last week. Will be sure to grab some to try on next order.
Thanks for the heads up @SmokeyJoe .
What soaps/cream have yous all tried that you liked?
I think this may help people in the future to choose a soap or cream.
I've tried the Palmshave cream when I bought my first kit, it's ok to start off with but once you try some of the other stuff I find it to be my least favorite.
I also find it dries up quicker on the face than the others I have tried.
Then the other 2 I have tried and enjoyed both equally as much as they both have a really nice scent and lather up beautifully is the "bundubeard" soap sandalwood scent
and the "On the berg" soap.
You honestly cant go wrong with either of these two.
I did find staright out the tin/box the "on the berg" is slightly easier to lather up as it is a softer soap.
All these soaps/creams are available through Bundubeard and others if you so please.

Placed my order after overnight cut off time so I was not expecting this waiting for me when I got to work this morning.
What a beauty! Complimentary shaving soap is the cherry on top of this sweet experience of top notch service.
I did not shave this morning, expecting to give the razor a good workout tomorrow evening as I only expected to get it during the course of Friday.
Will see if I can last the day without having a shave at work, I’m so tempted.
More feedback later.

Damn that looks good. enjoy
Bundubeard delivers once again, there customer service for me personally (and from what I've seen on this thread) has to be one if not the best in the online industry.
That is one beautiful Razor @Raindance cant wait to hear how your experience with her goes.
Taking bets now....
My money is @Raindance shaves before the end of the day
We are having a lot of fun thanks to @Clouds4Days and Bundubeard! I'm now getting into trouble from my wife for getting involved in another thing that keeps me ordering from online shops.
