[QUOTE="bachelor tax, post: 387389, member: 2838"] Shaving my neck is impossible. The hair grows in all different directions, there is no grain to shave with. I've tried multi-blade razors, single-blade safety razors, and electric razors. They all leave my neck raw and bloody. The only thing that comes close to working is this: [URL]http://www.amazon.com/Cleancut-ES412-Personal-Shaver/dp/B001IZZX1C[/URL] It's actually marketed towards shaving your genitals but I use it on my face and neck. It uses a different mechanism than electric razors. It cuts the hair off AT the skin (not below it like many razors do) and wont ever cut your skin. The blade isn't even sharp, it works more like clippers. Which means it doesn't ever really get dull, which is nice. It takes a long ass time, usually 15-20 minutes. It's not a one-pass deal. Instead of shearing the hair off at the skin, it kinda "eats" it up from tip to stem over several passes. It also won't shave hair that has gotten too long. You have to combine it with a pair of clippers to take care of any stragglers it misses, or to give yourself an overall trim if you let your beard grow out too much.

You want to use it when your face is bone try. You can try some talc or something if you have oily skin. Follow-up with Tendskin. You'll also want some rechargeable AA batteries. [/QUOTE]
