So I saw the light with a traditional DE razor, less acne and irritation than the triple blade type razors. But still not great, and a while ago I impulse bought a Philips rotary shaver, 3 heads, wet and dry etc.
Brilliant, close shave, quick, spotty/inflamed neck cleared up in a couple of weeks. However its got no sideburn trimmer thing and its a pain to clean, and it can be a bit tiresome trying to get a close shave under the neck which then results in irritation like I used to suffer. Although it may just need some new rotary heads, I’m wondering what else is out there.
Are the foil type shavers better? With the rotary I find I have to do a pass moving it in clockwise circles, and then another pass anti-clockwise, and then usually more lather and repeat.
Or should I just try a different DE razor…I’ve only used a 2nd hand Murkur Futur but did stick with it for a couple of years. Tried it against last week and it was a disaster, the next day my neck had flared up again. (and that was with a new, clean blade)
