Thread: Ingrown hairs with a straight

My neck is sensitive no matter what I use to shave with especially shaving up against the grain. So I do two things:

1. shave with the grain (down)

2. treat sensitive areas immediately after the shave with a combo of styptic pen, witch hazel, hydrocortisone cream.

For me beard prep made all the difference. I have the same problem. On my neck I do kind of an across the grain/against the grain motion. Ill have do do a video.
But there are some areas that you may never be able to do against the grain. Like my upper lip, really annoying.

I know for me it helps to wash my face the morning after I shave with something scratchy; I personally use one of those shower scrubby things. I think exfoliating helps keep the hairs from ingrowing. How long does it take for your ingrowns to show up, and how long do you go between shaves?
