Any suggestions on where to start ? Without sounding like a complete numpty could it not be achieved with a straight or something like a feather artist club ss? Or are they simply to harsh?
Cheers
Mild DE razor? is there a list of mild DE razors anywhere? I'd like one. Thank you John Doh! I mean bogeymanI already told you before: forget the shavette and buy a mild DE razor.

Thanks bogeyman much needed information provided here .... Andyhttp://sharpologist.com/2013/07/what-is-the-best-de-razor.html
Just an FYI, you can utilize the Search function here on the Forum where there is a veritable cornucopia of info at your fingertips. I assure you 99.99% of questions a new shaver can muster have been asked & answered here before as there are some sharp posters here for sure. That way you can leisurely scroll through and absorb the info at your own pace.
That said, my own recommendation for a new shaver is the Feather Popular razor as it's mild, inexpensive, forgiving & a perfect learner razor. There are other good ones as well, but they either entail more initial expenditure, e.g., Edwin Jagger, Merkur, etc., or they require you buy a used one in an antique store or on Ebay, e.g., Gillette Tech. For a new person it's best to keep everything 'Play-Doh' simple as well as keep costs to a minimum.

Nor me seems that there is no need to....I no longer shave ATG on my neck
Funnily enough (actually, not really that funny), I got cocky this morning and started doing ATG around my Adam's apply. Not so much irritation as a bunch of small red spots of blood all round the area.Nor me seems that there is no need to....
+ 1..Shavettes are Gonna Do that Crap to Ya..Just the Way it is..Hump it & Dump it..I already told you before: forget the shavette and buy a mild DE razor.
Shavettes are s**t IMHO. Get yourself a mild DE like a Gillette Tech a Merkur 34C ..then eventually you can buy a good straight razor..be gentle and methodical and don't over shave ..if the blade is good and sharp it will shave you clean and close without irritation. Basically it's a sharp blade so don't jam it into your face like some folks with the cartridges do. Oh yeah and get a good soap with lovely fat in it. I recommend Valobra, DR Harris, Haslinger or Tabac. Balls to Arko!
Try to use a fresh (and easy to preapre) solution of water an backing soda. One teaspoon (not full) in about 300 ml water, not warm and not too cold, shake it or mix it and simply wash your face and your neck with it. Time to time, after you wash your face with a gentle face cleanser (never use regular soap, the bumpies are, sometimes, the reaction of a dry skin (even though your skin is mixt). So, degrease your face, rinse thoroughly and last time apply this solution as a final rinsing. You can use the soda also as a scrub (avoid eye area) your face will look healthy and all the red signs will disappear. Once a week (as a scrub) and 3-4 times per week as solution. Don t put clean water again after the soda solution. Use a hidratant, never perfumed and watch out with the face toner, don t use it daily because your skin needs at least a small quantity of sebum (which remains even after you clean with a face cleaner) but the toner will always let your skin too "clean". And that doesn t mean healthy. Same solution (water and backing soda) can be also used for a sensitive scalp and hair as a shampoo, you ll be amazed after few weeks about the result. The condition is to rinse the hair, last time with water and 2-3 spoon of vinegar (natural one) in order to clean the chalk (calkar, limestone) that that clog hair follicles - a HUGE cause of hair loss as the hair root is suffocated by the limestone that makes deposits on the scalp. Put a glass or a recipient with backing soda in your bathroom to have it there every time you need. Cheap, easy and with amazing results. Let us know!Afternoon chaps
Just thought I'd post asking for abit of advice,
Since changing to shaving with a shavette (I know I know ) my skin has been a lot clearer and healthier looking.
However I can't seem to get rid of little red bumps around my neck.
I do all the obvious prep prior to shaving , hot shower and face scrub, currently using arko shaving soap and finishing with alum block and lucky tiger face tonic, like I say my face feels smooth and soft i just can't get rid of these pesky red spots.
Does anyone else suffer with this and what remedy worked best for yourselves?
I'm debating trying the White proraso shaving soap and maybe even the pre shave cream.
Any suggestions welcome
Many thanks all
