A rare evening shave. I decided to give the Astra Blue another chance. Yesterday’s shave was a bit on the rough side, but the blade felt a lot smoother today. Only minor irritation on one part of my neck…which was my own fault for applying pressure when going over it. That area of my neck is super sensitive but the hair that grows there is thicker than anywhere else on my neck. It’s hard to get that area smooth without resorting to ATG. A more aggressive razor would do achieve the smoothness but only at the cost irritation. It’s hard having extremely sensitive skin and thick / coarse hair!
