Hey Tex
Sorry to hear of your troubles, you are not alone. I hate shaving with a burning passion! I have similar trouble, and the best thing I have found is to wash may hair and face in hot water while showering with shampoo, gets the hair nice and soft. Then I use a Mach 3 and make sure the blade is changed as soon as the moisturizer strip is gone. In winter when it gets me the worst I use the Neutrogena aftershave. So far this is the best solution I have found.

Hope you find something that works for you, cause a raw face all day sucks!
