Just a small tip - something that I found helpful.
I was wetshaving for many years, and I'm sure I nicked my neck 90% of the time. Besides the prep, creams, blades, and after-shave, make sure you pay attention to the hair grain on your neck. In my beginning years, I was shaving my neck (below the adam's apple) with multiple passes ATG - without realizing. This caused cuts and irritation. Changing to some WTG and then XTG passes resulted in huge improvements to my neck. I could then shave with confidence, and greatly reduce the nicks and irritation.
Although the above is most likely known by most of us, I'm hoping it might be able to help some.
Anyone else have any simple tips for reducing neck irritation?
