Sorry if this has been discussed, I couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for.
I recently decided to try growing a short beard, so I had my barber shape it by lining up the cheeks and creating a neckline, and I love the way it looks! But now I'm trying to keep the neckline and shave my neck, but I'm not sure the best method of doing so.
I used to shave a safety razor with a feather blade, then moved to a Feather Artist Club Wood DX, also with a feather blade. Now for the past year and a half, I've only been using a trimmer set on 1mm, with a rare shave once or twice a year.
Now that I want to completely shave under the beard, I have tried using a trimmer with no guard followed by a foil shaver, but I don't get as sharp / clean of a line as I'd like, so I'm thinking I should go back to the safety razor or straight razor, but my problem is it is hard to create a good neckline with shaving cream in the way. Is there a clear shaving cream or gel that would help in this regard? What is best method for creating a clean neck / jawline with a beard?
