The neck is very sensitive (I even had trouble with it when I used a cartridge) but now that I've been shaving with a straight for a while, my neck isn't irritated at all.

Not sure the barber did anything "wrong" but maybe he used a little to much pressure on the neck area to get it smooth.

I don't push for BBS on my neck, it would irritate my skin if I did. It's smooth when I run my hands over it, except when I rub ATG. That's when I can feel some stubble. It's good enough for me, My neck doesn't like me going ATG with the razor

How did he do as far as stretching your skin as he shaved you? Could you tell?
I just got the irritation on the left side of my neck ONLY. He defintely went against the grain since my beard is quite thick so with the grain alone won't do the trick, but just not sure why it would just affect that section.

I think he was streching the skin somewhat.

Anyway I did not expect this kind of irritation that's why I went to a barber.
