I think post #5 nailed some of the problem. I have heard a change to a DE razor will improve things. The cartridge first blade pulls on the hair as part of the hysteresis action and the stubble is getting cut too short by the following blade. It seems you are getting ingrowing hair in places as a result.On the days that I do shave (1 per week), I'll wash my face and neck in the shower with hot water and soap, wait some time, go to the sink to shave and then apply cold water. I also never shave against the direction of hair growth.
Despite all these measures, I still get these frustrating and very noticeable marks. I don't know why they keep occurring?
Hope some people could give me some advice as to what I can do to prevent them, treat them or just general advice regarding this matter.
Lots of good responses. I would also recommend the following:
1. Let your skin rest - wait a few days before your next shave.
2. Relax when shaving - if you are tense, from experience you rush and make mistakes in technique.
3. Less is more - don't try for the perfect shave - go for one pass, and see where you end up.
