    Shaving irritation

    All right men, Help Me out!!

    I’ve tried safety razors, single blades up to a 6 blade. Cheap, super expensive and everything in between. Tried several different shaving creams. Same results.

    I’ve taken to shaving only twice a week because no matter what, the picture below is the result!


    What am I doing wrong??

    I like to be clean cut and am in sales so I feel it’s important, but man it sucks!!

    Ever tried shaving in the shower? Take a hot shower in the mornings, shave in the shower, don't mash too hard. Other than that maybe an electric?

      Dont shave against the grain. If i shave upward on my neck, it looks like yours. Otherwise, electric razor.

        You remind me of me.
        Every hair I have grows a different way.
        When I was in the oilfield it was horrible!
        My throat looked like a dog been chewing on me.
        One of the guys turned me on to C.O. Bigelow shaving cream, and that stuff works miracles.
        It's the absolute slimiest, slipperiest crap you've ever lathered up with, but that blade won't be able to grab your skin the way it normally does.

          This^^^^. I haven’t bought shaving cream in 25yrs. Are you cleaning the razor out every few strokes?

            Shave in hot shower... last thing I do before I get out. Soft whiskers, no rash.

                Agreed
                I shave in the shower every night. It’s always worked for me.

                      Ive tried the Bigelow, but just once. Will try it again!

                      Will also try shaving in the shower right at the end.. I’ve been fighting it for years!

                        Get you a good high dollar electric razor. Mine did the same at the neck. Didn’t matter if I shaved with grain, against grain, in shower, hot water, cheap razor, expensive razor, lots of blades, less blades or every cream imagined. Always the same. Super sensitive at the neck. Now I use my electric razor with zero issues. No more blood and it’s silky smooth.

                          Those don't work for me.
                          I've spent thousands of dollars on em and never found 1 worth a flip.
                          I have extremely course thick hair.
                          My girlfriend says I have fat hair .
                          It's chews those little toys up and spits em out.

                            Same here. Never could shave with a real razor without rash or bleeding. I have to use electric & no issues. Worse comes to worse get a good electric & then take a good portable with you so if you had to clean up a bit more during the day
                            Good luck

                              You may have foliculitus. It's what I've got. I've been fighting it for almost 20 years.
                              Your hairs grow curly and become ingrown due to the way they're shaped. I haven't had much of a remedy, though I've tried everything mentioned here.
                              What I've found works best is not shaving, but using a beard trimmer or a hair trimmer like they use to trim your neck after a hair cut. Get's it close enough for Government work.
                              If I MUST shave, I wash my face and neck thoroughly with a scrubbing pad and I user At Ease Shave Gel and put it on immediately after getting out of the shower, liberally, and let it sit for about a minute before starting to shave with a Gillette skin guard razor, then use the jack black ingrown hair solution.

                              If you find something that works for you, please share. I'd love to be clean shaven from time to time but dadgummit it hurts.
