Thread: Just cecking in, saying hey and I have a question : )

The pressure advice is right on that is the most likely issue. Second is since it is a trouble spot you go over it many more times a shave then anywhere else. That will cause that burn.

Lastly take a couple days off shaving all together if you can. If your face isn't healing in between shaves the burn is still going to show up even if your technique is improving.

I have a round point the cut I was referring to was going straight into my cheek by accident. I was mostly asking about razor burn on my neck. I appreciate the advice though.

Thanks very much for the information and advice, I tried less pressure and also made myself more conscience about the angle of attack and this last shave went way better. I found myself falling back to the same angle I used with my shavette so after closing that angle a bit and letting the razor work for me things went much smoother. Thanks again fellas : D

Often I think hair on the neck can lay at varying angles. Initially, a beginner may not recognise this and so resort to increasing the pressure to shave the area and this can cause razor burn.

Check the angle your hair grows at; you may need to go without shaving a few days to be able to see this.
You may need a second pass on the neck to get it really smooth due to the hollows, direction of hair (esp if it's growing across your neck). For the second pass weaken the lather with a little water. I think a buffing stroke works very well here; very short, light strokes repeated rapidly.
