I would have gotten more use out of the $80 bucks by lighting it on fire....I digress.
I have tried expensive shave gel, barbasol, soap, whatever, I always get bumps, but JUST on my neck. I also make sure to use aftershave after, again, I have tried many different kinds. What I have been doing lately is mixing gillette gel with some neosporin. That combo seems to tame the redness down quite a bit. I'm going to use the straight regardless, but what the heck?? How can I fix this? Or do I just have crappy sensitive neck that'll always be irritated?
