I need to get rid of razor bumps on the back of my neck

Cool.  Thanks for the advice everyone.  I will definitely try the Clear Head and see what happens.

Paul:
Welcome hypeceo.  Like the rest Clear Head works for me.  If you want a more extensive list try checking our different posts or HeadShaver.org where there is also a listing for Razor Bumps.

I don't know if what i have can be termed razor bumps because I was getting them while I had a full head of hair. They seem like pimples you'd get on your face but they don't come to a head.

I gave up trying to shave with a blade because this seemed to make them stand out more. Since then I've stuck with and electric razor and this seems to help but not eradicate the problem.

Any suggestions of how to clear up my noggin will be appreciated.

In my opinion the most important thing is to try not to rush your routine, especially if you are going to use any kind of razor blade.  I can go a little faster now that I have been using the HeadBlade but I still try to take my time.  Make sure to use an exfoliater, (HeadShed or St. Ives' Scrub are good), this will clean the dead skin off your head and clean out the pores which is wear the razor bumps usually come from because of ingrown hairs.  Myself, I've started going with the grain on my head and my face this past week.  I haven't had one ingrown hair or razor bump.  Plus my head hasn't gotten irritated at all even when I start sweating.  I know a lot of people like that smooth against the grain feel and I do to.  But I can live with a little stubble versus having the skin irritation I usually get going against the grain.  Plus with the HeadBlade going with the grain gets it down well enough to where I can barely tell it's not against the grain unless I run my hand over the dome.  Anyway, after the exfoliating and the shave rinse with very cold water.  I have started using ClearHead but I use to use witch hazel or rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball all over the dome.  I prefer witch hazel.  It doesn't sting as bad and does just about the same.  What I like about the witch hazel is that it helps close the pores even more and since it's an estringent it helps clean off the dome from where I shaved.  Then I would apply a good after shave product.  I prefer the HeadLube.  I think I remember you mentioning something about Bald Guyz after shave gel.  Use that.  I know some guys even wrap their head in a hot towel before the shave which helps soften the hairs up even more.  Real hot water=softer hair=smoother shave and less "drag"=less irritation and razor bumps.  Hope at least some of this novel  ;D has been helpful bro.   O0

Thanks for the tips Lance. Come to think of it after my barber shaved me he did use Witch Hazel on my head so I'm going to pick some up today and try that.

I think you may be right with the grain vs against the grain. I'll stick to with the grain for a week and see if my problem clears up.
