Razor burn, Still have to shave What do I do?
Ok here goes, been shaving with a straight for about 4 months now, getting better and better all the time but have a really sensitive neck. the grain on my neck grows from the center out towards my ears. I'm unable to do a traditional WTG pass because I'd have to have the razor straight up and down and it won't fit under my jaw. I've experimented with skin stretching and blade angle and have the irritation down to a minimum, but I still get bumps and irritation quite often. I use good beard prep, quality cream, and use Thayers Witch Hazel and Nivea aftershave balm after my shaving routine so I think I'm ok there. I work as a security guard and have to be clean shaven every day. I don't have to have a BBS shave every day and I dont' try to get one. My question is, When I do get irritation and razor burn, what do I do? I still have to shave the next day, but it's very painful to have to shave again when irritation is present. I won't use a disposable anymore, but have had to whip out the electic razor on a few occasions when my neck was too tender. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
