Neck shaving (WTG vs ATG), etc.

[VerbaVolant]

Whorls here. It makes no difference how I shave my neck. I am lucky though, my face (and neck) is not sensitive.
I did pay attention to the study Insights into shaving and its impact on skin and used to exfoliate quite often. Tough skin now.

Interesting article, thanks for sending it.

I simply can’t shave ATG below my Adam’s apple. The stubble there is much thicker and more wiry than on my face. I have tried everything but I always get irritation and nicks followed by a rash that takes days to clear if I try to go ATG on my neck.

However, I do find that fewer passes is the key so I just do a single XTG pass with very hydrated skin and a watery lather and this is acceptable for me. As long as I do this every single day I have no issues. If I chase BBS on the neck with multiple passes and ATG angles then I will cause irritation and nicks - so I have stopped chasing it!

I shave my neck thusly, 2 wtg 1 xtg = BBS, and not irritation. Actually my neck is the least place I get razor burn, or any irritation.
