Thanked: 2Razor burn help needed
So I've been at straight razor shaving for a couple of months now and have tried several methods and products, but still seem to have razor burn on my neck that just won't go away. 1st off, the skin on my neck/throat area has always been sensetive to razor burn no matter what I shave with. If I tried to map that area it would almost look like a rose compass with hair growing every which way, so for now I just shave that area in small strokes straight down. I've read through archives and all the articles I can find on here and have not had any success eliminating this problem. I don't use any pressure and I keep the angle about 1-2 spine widths off of my face (about 30 degrees). I have tried wet shaving with hot, warm, and old water.
Pre-shave: I have done everything from water all the way to shower, towels, witch hazel, skin food, soap, rinse, oil, soap, shave. I have added and ommitted each step here and there.
Post-shave: I have done everything from rinse with cold water, apply witch hazel, apply
aftershave - and have added one at at time and mixed and matched the following - skin food, nivea balm, udder cream lotion. I have even used all products after the same shave.
I know you're supposed to wait cor the razor burn to clear up before shaving again, but that would be at least more than 3 days growth and due to work purposes I can't do that. It does get mostly clear, but then I shave and it's back with a vengence. I use small single pass straight down strokes. The razors were honed by Lynn and I know they're sharp. I have used several types of soaps/creams to shave with. I just really don't know what else to try and any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
