This is something I've wondered about for a while now.
I have decent enough technique and/or a fairly thick and insensitive hide to where I can get DFS/BBS shaves on my cheeks, jawline, chin, upper lip and the upper part of my neck.
The part that gets me is the very base of my neck, where my beard begins to grow. The hair grows upward toward my forehead, and at a very shallow angle. Regardless of the angle I use with the razor or which blade I use, it still pulls and irritates pretty severely.
I've just about given up trying to shave that ATG, but when I do, or when I get it at a little bit of an oblique angle while going XTG, it gets pretty irritated and angry, and I can tell before I'm even done shaving.
What do you guys use to calm it down? In particular, what can you put on it or do to it so that it doesn't get more inflamed and red later in the day or the next day?
