Thread: Shaving advice!

I get **terrible** redness and rawness on my neck after shaving, such that in the last 15 years you could count on two hands the number of shaves I have had - i usually just use a stubble-clipper thing to give myself a perpetual 5 o'clock shadow (or longer) - I do this to avoid the pain and burning.

Anyway, I want to be clean shaven for a change and need advice on how to avoid the terrible redness and itchiness, the latter of which goes on for 2 days. I have had 2 shaves this week and it's been awful, culminating in me applying a steroid ointment to my neck!

I have good equipment I think (mach3 with fresh blades and an electric Braun 7000 foil razor with a new blade and the auto cleaning base station).

What am I doing wrong, or what product exists to help?

Sorry to be a numpty! No actual grown up to ask in real life!

HAHAHA well I guess now we have a "what to do if my neck is raw from shaving" wiki. OP probably forgot how to log in. Or he gave up and grew a beard.
