    I haven't tried that yet but I definitely will. I slowed down a little while shaving today, lightened up the pressure (I had to look in the mirror to assure I was even removing lather) and worked on stretching the skin more taut. Although this didn't completely alleviate the problem, it did help. I have almost no irritation at all on my neck today.

    For my next shave I'll throw in a couple of hot towel applications and maybe get the problem solved. Thanks everyone for the advice.

    Also one thing that helped with skin stretching for me was to place my whole hand around the front of my neck like a choking motion and pull straight down while looking up. Helps keep the skin tight without bunching up the skin next to it.

    Good luck on your shave

    I used the multiple hot towel application and tried the skin stretching that you recommended and it worked wonderfully. I'm finally getting a nice smooth shave and no irritation. Thanks guys.

    Good to hear JXLT! I've been following hte thread, because I have the same problem on my neck, but only in one spot (right side of neck, under the corner of my jaw). I even tried cold water this summer and that didn't help much. I guess I'll have to try the towel now...

    I believe the repeated hot towel applications and the shorter softer strokes also make a difference too. Maybe your experience will be as fortunate as mine, Catalin.
