Right this is starting to piss me off abit now
I used to fine when shaving, i never got a rash from it up until now. Seems everytime i shave now i end up getting a bastard rash on my neck. I've tried changing the blades, its not that. I always use shaving cream. Starting to think my neck is just allergic to the razor or whatever i dunno!! Went into work yesterday with the itchiest, reddest rash! Bloody shaving, might just grow a beard instead.
Any ideas?

Ahah...
Try shaving while in the bath, I find that with your skin being properly moist, the stea and all it can help...
Haha, yes .. sadly i havent turned into a man yet
Never works for me.:crying: Just shaved and got shaving rash AGAIN. Spent about 10 minutes clearing up the blood as well.
I used to get horrible rashes on my neck. I used to avoid shaving or shave the night before to give my skin time to heal.
I found out the cause though. Basically, the hair on my neck grows out to the side (pointing towards my shoulders) so essentially I was shaving against the grain. So, I started shaving from my adams apple out to under my ear and it seems to have worked.
I still get the one off bump but its nowhere near as painfull and bloody as it used to be! :thumb:
Might not be the same thing but it's an idea.
Didn't use cream. I just used water and a razor blade.
i use this razor which has a soap bar around it which replaces shaving foam and is for sensitive skin. its brilliant. i never get any shaving rashes, not even on my bikini line. boots have them on offer at the moment.
