Thread: Irritation around my neck

Too much pressure is the likely culprit. Lighten up on your pressure and see if that doesn't help. Try to imagine you are only shaving off the lather, just the lightest touch.
Good luck.

Also, give that part of your face a day or two off, let it normalize before you try to shave it again.

Use less pressure, use also on the neck the 30 degrees angle whit the razor.
This will sometimes go wrong because it's an uncomfortable place to shave.(and then you get razor burn)
have fun

Did you mean a 30 degree angle with the grain? Or to keep the angle of the razor at 30 degrees during the shave?

30 degrees with the grain, less when going cross or against the grain. Again like UPD and kalerolf suggest, light pressure. Also, go slow with short strokes (about a 1" or little less). Just take your time, it's your time to slow down, enjoy the shave, smell the lather, and reap the rewards of your "labor".
