Thread: Very uncomfortable on neck and chin

+1 on all the information regarding razor angles.

When i first began, which is not all that long ago, my neck gave me crazy problems. Try to document which way your whiskars grow. This provides some legitimacy when you're shaving. You can say "ooops, thats not a good idea, maybe I'd better do it this way".

For the upper part of your neck, a member suggested that I pull it up as far as I can onto my cheek. That was magic advice. Skin stretched and as flat as possible.

For the lower part of my neck, since my hair grows in multi directions, I shave north to south, with the spine almost against my skin. No pressure at all, and a very slight sideways motion. It works for me, and allows me comfortable shaves.

Slow, well thought out strokes. If they work, remember them. If they don't, try something new after your face heals. Give yourself a couple days in between shaves.

Good luck,
Maxi
