I get terrible razor burn on my neck and nothing seems to work. Literally every link on google reccomended using a safety razor and a shave brush. This does not work despite following directions perfectly. I’m slow and I clean the blade between strokes. I never cut myself either. But still, razor burn. How do I fix this?

If you have a shitty skin, nothing you can do about it

Stop shaving. Grow a beard.

you're using hot water and shaving cream, right?

use aftershave

more latter waaayyy more latter it has to be thick like a blanket of silk between the blade and the skin

you are doing somthing wrong, i get mad razor burn and a saftey razor is my savior, apply a shit ton of decent cream, flip the razor regulary and make sure you follow the grian properly, hair on the neck grows different to those on your face, try all manner of directions

had this too. this is my new and approved shaving routine: get a nicce electric shaver and the cheapest 1-blade razors without aloe or other shit. 1 blade, throw away after one shave! so one day shave with the throw away shaver, using shaving mouse of choice, clean blade between strokes in warm water, shower afterwards and apply moistorizer without alc. next day use the electrical shaver. than repeat this cycle. good luck.

I’m not growing a neckbeard, this is down by my Adam’s apple

Yes, how water, a softened and conditioned face, and shaving cream applied by a badger brush

I do

My Neckhaid grows in two directions. Up and down and the directions meet at the Adams apple

Are you soaking it in hot water first? The razor should be hot to the touch, then yeah you need a tonne of lather, like super frothy, like in the films.

I used to get razor burn really badly, was super painful and a safety razor saved my dick. Though I have a beard now so no need to worry about any of that.

I usually have better luck when i shower after shaving

Put neosporin on after shaving.

>Or grow a pair of balls, become a man, and grow a beard.

Are you a nigger?
Fucking niggers amd their no shave chit

That's why they use to wrap a hot towel around your face for a while before they shaved you dumbass

I do that, and I also had a pre-shave latherYes, the razor and the brush soak for 10 minutes in steaming hot water

Try Arko shaving sticks.
They're the best thing I've ever used for shaving.
>Cheap.
>Moisturises your skin really well.
>Smells really nice.
>Lasts forever.
I bought 4 sticks back in February and I'm still on the first one (shaving once a week, sometimes twice).
Can't recommend them enough.

Once a week?, are you a woman? When I used to shave I had to do it daily otherwise by day two I would have a beard.

how long have you been using a safety razor, OP?

Shaving oil and then the soap. Shave in the bath or after a shower, all that steam is what you want.
This great advice was brought to you, free of charge, by Andy Sixx and his log of shit

What angle do you shave? I used to do this shit all the time as a kid til I worked out holding the blade at an angle that glides well.

Two years
I’ve been holding it at an angle
Already do all of that

brand of razor? I also assume you've tried many different brand of blades too?

Use after shave cream scrub

Go to a barber?

That's what I'm saying. Try different angles. The hair on my neck grows the same way.

38 years oldfag here. Shaved my beard 3-4 times at week from almost 19 yo. Always with razors.

First, wash your face with hot water, a lot. (hot enough to open the pores of your face, but don't burn your skin) Submerges the blade in the hot water. Use shaving cream and shave following the direction of your beard, once. Clean the blade after every stroke.

Wash your face with warm water and put shaving cream again. Now shave in the other direction and take care of the details (If you only needs the first portion to be ok, avoid the second part). Only use one stroke and clean the blade often.

After you end this, clean your face with cold water, while more coolest, the better. Clean it well and don't stop until you feel your face cold and fresh. Next, use a good cream after shave. Avoid the ones with alcohol. You can use a regular cream for further effect.

If you still have burn, shave in night before, not in the morning. Hope this help you.

Simple, man up and stop shaving.

Unless your work or some such forbids it, consider the Jason Statham look. I use electric clippers and simply keep it down to very short stubble all the time. No need for a blade to ever touch my skin.

It's not a good look for everyone, and as stated above, not always encouraged or allowed, but it does eliminate your problem.

Try using lotion when you shave, along with plenty of hot water, worked wonders for me.

Ok, what about permanent hair removal then?

My nigga. Ive been doing that long as i remember. It takes like 2 minutes, and my face doesnt feel like shit afterwards

I’m currently using Feather
But I’ve used Astra, and like 6 others who’s names I’ve forgotten

I’ve considered it, but I don’t have the money for electrolysis, and I’ve heard it’s extremely painful

and brand of razor itself?

I fell for the wetshaving meme too it just never worked or my skin what did work was
Use shaving oil instead
DO NOT warm your skin you get more shit trapped in your pores for a very slightly closer shave which also makes it easier to cut the edges of your pores resulting in razor burn.
Use a gentle hypoallergenic soap after to remove the rest of the oil after shaving.
Shave with the grain only
Let the blade shave under it's own weight.
Try to make as few passes as possible
If you still get irritation cut it back to shaving only every other day.
Electrics and dry shaving typically does better job though for the closeness but they're expensive.

1) Shower first. Shaving cream isn't really the issue. Water will soften the hair just as much as the shave cream.

2) Find something for after shave skin care. Look up how to make a sugar scrub. There's this crud that women use on their legs and stuff that's basically, sugar, an oil, and an acid.
It will remove all the dead skin right after you shave so that you don't get the bumps.

Try using a Bic Flex 4 or 5 Hybrid. They are "disposable", but last weeks for me. I don't have a beard because I'm not a fag, but I shave my head daily and most everything else. I only use Dove soap as a cream, so you can clean your body as you shave. Try it, they like $6 for 3

Shaveology
I not only do this already, I also use a pore brush to clean myself afterwards with a post shave scrub followed by a post shave cream

>falling for the scam that is shaving cream
use basically anything else, soap, shampoo, conditioner, moisturising cream, fuck, you can even use cooking oil

post bald head

ok.

first thing I'd suggest is to upgrade to a decent razor. people like the Rockwell 6C (i own this) since it has swappable baseplates to change the gap of the blade to the baseplate. I'm going to assume this cheap razor has a fairly aggressive gap and you may be better off with a smaller one.

i'm going to assume you've tried 99% of the suggestions everybody posted here. but in my experience, i've found it can be as simple as changing a soap to a blade brand. maybe the feathers or astras dont work for you, but could work for most people out there. there are some soap brands that fuck my face and i tend to avoid. same with blades. some are gnarly.

and make sure to map your hair pattern growth. first passes should be always WTG (with the grain). my neck hair grows fucked and kind of swirls in some places, and if i don't do it right i get razor burn bad. subsequent passes then can be XTG (across the grain), and ATG (against).

id use electric clippers to get the hair as short as possible, then use a trimmer to get the rest. no razors for me.

Use hot water.
Use foam.
Shave 2 to 3 days.
Use 3-blade shaver
From just one past in the direction of the hair and the other against.
Use a healing and anti-inflammatory remedy afterwards.

Fuck shaving, I just use an electric hair clipper with no guard and run it over my face.

Maybe the problem is the shaving cream.
Try using something different.
The soap might be irritating your skin.
Try some different shaving cream?
I've heard of women shaving private areas that used Olive oil instead.
I use a safety razor
Also, shave with the grain, not against it.

Not op
I use a safety razor because two reasons.
1 . The replacement razors are not expensive.
2. I go extended periods of time without shaving, and those new razors with 20 blades just get clogged up and end up pulling hair out.

YOU ARE A FUCKING IMBECILE.

BUY AND EXPENSIVE CARTRIDGE RAZOR. GO ONLY WITH THE GRAIN USING NIVEA SENSITIVE SKIN. DONE DEAL YOU DIRTY FUCKING NIGGER.

STAY AWAY FROM SAFETY RAZORS. THE ONLINE FAGS ARE NECK BEARDS.

STFU YOU DIRTY NIGGER. THERE IS A REASON SAFETY REASONS WENT OUT OF FAVOR YOU DUMB FUCK. THEY ARE RESURRECTED BY WANNBE HIPSTERS,

Try shaving in the shower as your stubble will be at its softest then . I have a beard that can strip paint when its hard but if I shave immediately after showering it is soft enough to use virtually any soap . I always use a multi blade razor as well and they last for up to ten shaves

I'm far from a hipster you teenager.
I don't care about a super close shave, because I'm not some Arab,etc that looks like a terrorist if I don't shave every day.
I'm 37 and it's what my father used.
My post is accurate.
Faggot.

NAH YOU ARE JUST SOME RUSSIAN SLOB IN A HUT WHO CAN'T AFFORD ANYTHING BUT A FUCKING 1 CENT RAZOR BLADE AND A RUSTED "VINTAGE" GILLETTE. FUCK OFF FAT FUCK. YOU MONGOL.

I'LL GIVE YOU A BONE DIRTY ARAB: RAZORPIT. WILL AT LEAST DOUBLE YOUR RAZOR.

>I'm 37 and it's what my father used.


yikes.

It works.
I'm American.
Gotta go to work now
Bye

I shave in the shower (hot and steamy) with a mirror. Gillette Fusion seems to be the least irritating for me.

DE safety razor with Feather blades, quality cream and brush is second choice, and only if I have lots of time.

why avoid alcohol? from personal experience thats what keeps razor burn away as it disinfects the wounds and gives them time to heal before anything creeps back in .

you need to shave the super sensitive areas either more gently or not quite as close. If you're doing once with the grain and once against on most of your face for your neck try once with and once across the grain, then once against, or possibly skip the against all together, you may notice its longer than the rest but it won't really be visible.

also, cream based aftershave, not alcohol.

also pick up an alum block, try that between your shave and aftershave.

looking like a deshevled shithead is no "manly" well groomed facial hair requires shaving above the cheeks and on the neck.

Stop using multi bladed skin rippers
Go for a more traditional 3 blade or barbers and cut throat razor.
Plenty of lather and rinse every stroke.
Apply cream again after shave and rub it in.
Then last wash in cold water

>Gotta go to work now


YOU MEAN GO BACK TO D/L CHILD PORN IN MUMMY'S BASEMENT HUH 500 POUND DIRTY FAT FUCK?

he already said he's using a safety razor, straight razors take a lot of practice to use well, not a good solution for most people, and rubbing soap into your face is not going to help at all... basically you're an idiot.

ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE YOU FAT FUCK WANNABE? FEATHER BLADES, THE SHARPEST BLADE ON THIS PLANET, TO A DUDE WHO CAN'T EVEN SHAVE PROPERLY WITH A CARTRIDGE RAZOR?

FUCK OFF AND DIE WANNABE

Get a sharp blade you cheap fuck

if yo black yo skin is fucked and always will get bumps, just how nigger skin is, sorryu

IT'S BECAUSE THE NEW 2O YEAR OLD 400 POND FAT FUCK'S MANTRA IS "ALCHOLO IS BAD FOR MY FAT UGLY POCK MARKED FACE".

DUDE, YOU BETTER ASK DADDY OR SOME RANDOM DUDE ON THE STREETS TO TEACH YOU TO SHAVE PROPERLY BECAUSE THESE FAT FUCKS PROBABLY DON'T EVEN WIPE MUCH LESS SHAVE

SO THIS FUCKING RETARD CAN'T USE A CARTRIDGE RAZOR SO YOUR SOLUTION IS A STRAIGHT EDGE?

OK FAT FUCK.

how often do you shave?

NOT REALLY. YOU JUST NEED A DIFFERENT METHOD AND THEY CAN'T USE A LOT OF STUFF A HUMAN USES. JUST TREAT THEM LIKE SAVAGES AND GO WITH THE GRAIN. IF YOU GO AGAINST WITH NIGGERS THEY WILL BLOW UP.

I'M A BARBER.

IT'S CRAZY HOW LITTLE NIGGERS KNOW ABOUT PROPER GROOMING FOR THEIR BRILLO PAD HAIR.

calm your tits !
>not op btw

FUCK YOU FAT FUCK. GIVE PROPER ADVICE OR GO BACK TO EATING TWINKIES YOU FAT FUCK,

Get merkur 86hd. Lotion after shave

>merkur 86hd

ONCE AGAIN FAT FUCK: THIS RETARD CAN'T USE A REGULAR RAZOR AND YOU WANT A HEAVY DUTY NON MILD DE RAZOR?

FUCKING IDIOT.

I had the same problem myself, it seemed like no matter what I did I would always get at least a little razor burn.

What worked for me was using some “anti-bump” after shave balm. The ones marketed towards black people are always the strongest. Use it generously after you shave and reapply if needed. Shit worked wonders for me.

Go to the doctor and ask them to prescribe you Clyndamayacin gel. It's a weak antibiotic which prevents razor bumps and ingrown hairs by killing the bacteria which causes the swelling/bumps.
It works really quickly, and even gets rid of most acne over night.

If you can't get a prescription, then start with triple antibiotic cream. I use it for when I wax my balls, and I've never had bumps.

THEN YOU ARE PART NIGGER ..OR MAYBE FULL. NO REAL WHITE MAN NEEDS THAT SHIT.

ARE YOU FUCKING MAD?

Good, heavy safety razor, Merkur blades, Cremo shaving creme.

Shave in the shower, get a mirror.

Get your stupid face hot, lather up.

1st pass go with the grain, 1 steady motion.

Reapply creme then go gently against the grain.

Big trick is right angle, not too much pressure, and not too fast.

1. You want to soften your facial hair before shaving, wash up with warm water and soap thoroughly, and keep your face in contact with warm water or steam for some time (hot damp towel wrapped on your neck or take a bath with the water just under your nose), ten minutes is enough. The softer your hair is, the easier it cuts and irritates less. You can also apply an oil or moisturiser to soften hairs ten minutes before you start but it's not as effective.

2. OIL! You want to lubricate your skin so that the blade doesn't drag on your skin, but slides smoothly. So after you're washed and warmed up, get any organic oil and rub it in where you will shave. I personally prefer coconut oil or shea butter. I've used olive and sunflower oil before and that works fine. You can't use too much, and you might have to re-apply if you scrape it off with the razor. Also, the oil

3. Use a safety razor and brush as OP post mentioned. The safety razor is good because it's only one blade pushed and dragging against your skin, instead of four or five or six or w/e. The brush is good because you can work up a nice hydrated soap lather. When you lather your face, any decent bar soap will do, Arko shaving sticks are good I find the oil to be more important than the soap.

4. shave in short and frequent strokes rather than long single strokes. Reapply oil and/or soap. Do not shave skin that isn't protected by the oil/soap.

5. After shaving, wash your face thoroughly with soap. Always wash with cold water at the end of your shave. Don't bother with aftershave as it contains alcohol that dries the skin.

6. MOISTURIZE! All of y'all should be moisturising your entire bodies after every proper wash anyway but the face is most important if you don't want to look like you just hiked out of a limestone quarry. Keeping your skin hydrated promotes healing and sometimes prevents razor burn drying up into scabs

I spotted a (you)

IS THAT A PIC OF YOU?

also you definitely don't want to be applying pressure to your skin with the razor. Especially if you're using a metal safety razor like OP pic related, the weight of the tool itself is enough. After, all, you're trying to shave the hairs growing out of your skin, not attempting to cut out the entire hair from its follicle.

Just use a trimmer Bro. Clean shaves are overrated.

>trimmer Br


YEAH BUT WHEN YOU ARE 400 POUNDS AND YOUR FACE IS FULL OF FAT...DOES IT MATTER YOU FAT FUCK?

t. Soyboy cuck

ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY!?

Use the philips oneblade razor. That thing is magic. Smooth shave without getting so close that it irritates my skin. It travels with me wherever I go.

OP

How the fuck is this thread still alive?

I used to get it. Try a straight/cutthroat/barber's razor. It worked for me until I have up shaving. I just use the in electric head shaver now because I've only half given up on life

Try switching to cold water. It helped me with irritation surprisingly. Even though it goes against what most say.

Shave in the shower

/thread

Just don't think it's necessary to shave daily since I've been a NEET for a few years up until today so if I'm not leaving the house I don't see much point in shaving more than once a week.

Now I've got a job again I'll shave once every couple of days or so.

The blades you're using are not right for you. Put pre-shave oil (I use almond oil) on your face before you put on shave cream. Use a good shave cream , something that comes in a jar. When done, use a moisturizer. Not lotion, something in a jar

They cut some hairs and pull others out. You get a very splotchy shave. Use the DE safety razor, it cuts the hair uniformly. It's a mans shave not a teenager shave. Always use shaving oil
