Hey guys,
I've been DE shaving for about a month now, and I'm not 100% satisfied. My cheeks and jawline look great after my shaves, but my neck gets irritated and I get bad razor bumps, mostly on the bottom inch of my skin, all the way across. I've recently noticed that this part of my neck has no real pattern as to how the hairs grow.
I'm using:
Weishi razor (I've tried Merkur, Israeli, and Derby blades)
KMF unscented
AOS Fine badger
3 Passes: 2 with the grain (straight down), and 1 ATG.
Thayer's Rose
Anthony Razor Burn Repair on my neck
I'm getting really frustrated with DE shaving; I'm starting to wonder if it's the right thing for me. I've been changing my technique, paying close attention to proper angle and pressure, but with the same results.
Murray has also shipped me a Merkur LHC and a Gillette Tech to try, and I've ordered a Gillette Slim Adj. I'm still waiting to try those.
What do you think is wrong?
