I work in a job where I don't need to be clean shaven every day so I usually shave only a few times a week, sometimes even just once a week. However I have decided that I'm fed up of looking messy/dirty in an unshaven manner and as a new years resolution have decided to start shaving more often.
Now this is fine on my face but my neck just won't accept me shaving say every second day.
I had a shave this morning and while the shave was fine and there was no bleeding or any painful factors, my neck became really red and bumpy.
After I shaved I applied some alum (nipped a bit but it always does) and balm and it calmed down a bit.
I have been DE shaving for a few months now and have improved all aspects of my technique so could it just be that because I've previously been shaving so little, my neck just isn't used to it?
Will it improve with time or should it be another "back to the drawing board" re: technique?
