Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > Face Shaving
No hair on neck, will it look bad?

I hate neck hair!
D.A.L.U.I.:
Neck hair is annoying and can cause other issues--before I started shaving mine the hair would get caught up in my shirt collar button. I find I don't have to shave it every day, just once or twice a week--so no irritation build up. I use my trusty Fusion.
Note: As many of the more mature brothers will tell you, maturity brings follicles to life on your body where you never thought they existed. It only gets worse!

Ahh yes the dreaded neck hair.....Its alot more difficult for those sensitive skin but...to some extent you can build up your skins tolerance to it along with all the places you shave. I'm sure many have said it but I'll say it again. the more regular of a shaving schedule you have the better. About every other day or everyday.
I myself at first couldn't even imagine going at it for more than twice in a week. As time rolls on though I've found the more often I did it the better. Of course don't just start doing it every day like its nothing, but I'd try and start going for like every other day. monday wednesday friday etc...
I have alot of hair on my neck unlike most guys who's hair growth tends to stop right at the adams apple or slightly lower. Mine extends below the collar of the t-shirts I wear. I'm 1/2 italian and the majority of the rest is danish and dutch...so needless to say I have a hairy pops and the males on my moms side also are very hairy (think like a viking)
Heres what I found works best for me when it comes to shaving my neck and face in general. I know alot of guys like to get their faces as super smooth as their dome and go against the grain, but I find if you just shave in whatever direction your hair grows it just works better.
So at the bottom of my neck I shave upwards and slightly to the side. At where my adams apple is located is kind of tricky because of the fact that everything meets here. so on the bottom side of my adams apple it grows up and above it it grows down so obviously I shave downwards above there. buuut. right to the side of my adams apple my hair grows side ways. All this is very trick for me and it can require quite a few more strokes than most folks to get it cut down.
So like I said I gave up on shaving against the grain on my face. I find that its just not worth the agony just to have it look smoother for...3 hours??? So shave WITH the grain and try not to press to hard. Use a good shave gel and PLENTY of it and a good razor atleast 2-3 blades. I actually have found I have more iritation from the gillete fusion *which I love for my head* on my neck and face vs. the mach 3
so try the mach3 for the face/neck and fusion for the head.

Dan-O-Mite, I appreciate the time you put into replying to my message. You know the place that's most difficult
to shave for me is right above adam's apple and under the chin. I have tried Mach 3 and some other disposable razors but those hairs just sometimes refuse to be shaved off. That's when I shave downwards.
I shave only once a week. So I will start shaving more frequently to see if things improve. Big thanks again.
