I think I will try wizamet. Any particular type.I've also a very sensitive neck and it has been such my whole life. I've used Persona Red (Israeli), Wizamet, and Permasharp. My favorite to date are the Wizamet and Permasharp viing for first position then Persona. You can't get the Israeli made any longer. Like others I found the Feather harsh and flat no. Of course YMMV and blade selection is highly subjective. Gratefully they're inexpensive enough to try many and have the rest as backup if you evern run out and need something in a pinch, or to pif when your turn a friend onto the merits of wet shaving.
***I'm not associated with nor do I gain anything from the above links, just used to show packaging if you're not familiar with these particular blades. I've purchased from TRC a couple of times now and have been pleased with my kit. Of coures, use whatever purveyor of fine shaving goods floats your boat!***
I've yet to get a bbs shave of my lower neck without various of levels of sting when using an alum block. Can shave my head and cheeks with near zero to zero sting. I also spend a considerable amount of effort in the pre-shave stage getting my neck ready.
I just got PAA's Filament and waiting a couple of more days growth to try a slant/comb for the first time. I got this razor based upon a number of reviews that it works well for sensitive areas. Will be posting my thoughts/review after a couple of shaves.
Stay tuned...
You like all the Wilkinson sword or a particular type?Get rid of the Feathers. Too sharp and unforgiving. I’ve wet shaved for 50 years and I can’t handle them.
I use Lord blades exclusively. You might try them or Personna Lab Blues which work well for most folks.
I use Lord blades only. I have used Personna Labs and have read many favorable reviews of that blade.You like all the Wilkinson sword or a particular type?

If you get a sample I'd also recommend trying the Perma-Sharp, I found these to really similar and enjoyable. Someone else mentioned Persona Lab Blue, I've used the Blue Platinum, not sure if these are the same or not found them to on par with the Wizamet generally speaking, though I like the Wizamet a touch more.
