I've only been DE shaving for a little over a month but I had a similar problem. I would always nicked myself on the lower neck, or beside my adam's apple. I switched to a 3 pass WTG on all 3 passes, stretch the skin really good and switched to cold water for my shaves. The cold water relieves my skin irritation so no more bumps, no more nicks. It's not BBS, yet, but I do a few touch ups and it's 100x better than my M3 ever was.
Using a DE89L w/Astra SP.
Thanks, I'll have to try that to and see what happens. Changing the passes have helped a bit and I'm starting to put my razor in a cup of cold water after I rinse it off. I've noticed the cool razor doesn't rub against my skin as much as if I just rinse it off in hot water. Ummm... mentholated soap, Osage AS, and now cold water shave??? Might have to join the FFF group.
