I would feel quite awkward having an eastern european guy shaving me in the shower, I dunno about you lot.

If you can afford a german guy then go for it, most of us couldnt even afford a middle eastern guy!

The best products i've found for razor burn/rash are:

Tend skin solution ~£10 - This stuff is seriously strong, and will help with razor burn and ingrown hairs immensly but you'll need to use an aftershave balm afterwards as its very drying on your skin and it stings like aftershave when you put it on your skin. I only use it for the occasional bad patch of razor burn, and if your skin is already dry I'd be cautious about using it.

Tend skin is amazing, clears up razor bumps and rashes very quickly.

Can be bought here and lots of top notch reviews

I used to get razor burn no matter what products i used, technique etc etc.

I decided to change to an electric razor and i have have not had a problem since.

And I was the opposite

I use a hair clipper, it's not a close shave so rash. And I look cool with a number 0 (1mm even stubble)

do you shave with the grain (DOWN) or against the garin (UP)??

Shave downwards and with the grain to avoid irritation.

Also use BABY OIL instead of shaving gel etc. It will clog up your razor blader a bit, but will elad to minimal irritation and a smooth finish.

Let me know how it goes.

One thing ive always wondered, is it up the neck towards the chin, or from chin down the neck ?

I always seem to get a rash on my neck for a while (minutes), but nowhere else :rolleyes:

I'm the most irregular shaver ev0r.

if I shaved the day before, I just wet my face and drag a sensor excel over it.

any longer than one day and I have to use my hair clippers with no guard to shorten the hair then shave.

time between shaves varies from 6 hours to 3 or 4 months...

Shaving in the shower beats all. Use a half decent razor, doesn't need to have batteries or 17 blades.

Agreed, I also find my blades last much longer also shaving in the shower or directly after.
