Rash on neck when shaving Posted: 01-23-08 19:16pm
Hi I get a pretty bad rash on my neck when
I shave it. I use an electric shaver for
my face which is fine but if I use it on
my neck it will tear it up and make it
sore. I have tried just doing a dry shave
with a normal bic two bladed razer and
also a wet shave but no luck. I recently
have been using nivia for me shaving foam
just for my neck when I shave it and also
nivia for me after shave on my neck but no
look. I even just try and do an half assed
job of shaving my neck to prevent worser
rashes as the longer I seem to spend
getting all the hair off the worse of a
rash I get.
Any tips

It depends a lot on the shaver. I use
Norelco, I heard Panasonic is pretty good
too. There is a small possibility you
might be allergic to certain metals.
That used to happen to me as well, my body
just built up a resistance against it and
now it's ok. If you are using a regular
bladed shaver then I suggest the
following. Run warm-hot water on your face
to open the pores so the hair will cut
easier, lather on the shaving creme well,
move the blade slowly as you shave, and
make sure to put on aftershave afterwards.
Also I've found that shavers with more
blades cause less irritation.

I shave when I get straight out of a hot
shower. The razor (I use Wilkinson Sword
Quattro) just glides off the neck and
never cuts. The key to a clean shave is
preparing the skin and making sure you
have a decent razor. Two-blade disposables
are terrible.
