Hi @Shion !
Sounds more like fluid retention. Without using sleeves it's easy to get that doughnut head thing going on.
Happened to me several times ages ago, I have learned since.
The swelling should be gone in 24 hours or so, so after 24 hours you can try again.
I've noticed that if I take a break for some reason (feeling ill, no motivation or something else) that I need to ease up with certain exercises. Especially if the break is more than a week.
So it's something your body is getting used to in a way, keep at it!
Grooming definitely helps with most pumps for better suction. For my face I favor safety razors. Initial cost for a decent razor might be somewhat high but a good razor will last for a long time! And the blades, depending what you get, are usually quite inexpensive compared to cartridge razors. (Plus less trash, hooray!)
I have a 50's or 60's Gillette and it does a great job. If you buy a new one feel free to ask for suggestions.
Lubing up is something you could try, but the sleeves should help with that a lot. I've noticed that the sleeves do help a lot without needing lubrication. If I go without the sleeves fluid retention can occur much more easily and there can be that feeling of sticking to the walls.
Lastly, yes, a good balanced but varied diet does help in many ways! One can take certain supplements for better blood flow but the diet is more meaningful. Can't eat this and that and then pop a pill for better things to come right away, unfortunately.
