Shaving

I was bought a remmington rotary razor for xmas and ive tried using it a few times and just get evil shaving rash on my neck and to a lesser extent on my face.

Anyone have a similar problem and found a way around it?

Wet shave? Wet shaving pwns electric razors. Else, I do like Loréal Men Expert Pure & Matte Moisturising Gel. I had dry skin on my face from the heat in France and that does the trick. I still use it now.

yeh I do wet shave and have done for ages but someone bought me this new gadget and it wasnt cheap so I WANT to use it.

The instructions say your face has to be dry and clean and may take 4 weeks to become used to the razor.... I dont think I can handle it for 4 weeks

this is the reason i hate electric razors. they tug hairs and give u rashes. Try using it right after you have a hot shower (after dryeing your face obviously) as it may be better if the hair is softer.

That did work at first but then the rash just flared up later in the day.

I think it might be my skin....

I just dont want to, and dont think ill be able to, return it.

Just keep using it, try a different shaving tenique, take it slow and for gods sake be extremely carefull of your neck area!!! Elecs take some getting used to but once you do you'll never have this problem again. :smile:
