hi
i had the same problem i went back to wetshaving in the the end, My dematologist told me that when you dry shave the hair follicles can go back on themsleves this causing the hair to grow inwood, causing rashes etc,
I also recomend a cream called CETRABEN is faboulus for moisture. Good luck

Go back to wet shaving - it's much better in my opinion.
Yes as it is dry, you need to use an after shave balm all over the area after.
Get nivea for men, its at a reasonable price and it worked wonders for my boyfriend he loves the stuff
Radically changing your shaving style *will* do that to your skin. I changed to electric last year & had the same problem for some weeks!
The neck is more sensitive, so it'll show up worse there. Sure there are oils or moisturisers of some sort you can put on pre-shave to help with this.
well you should get a new razor or stop shaving
It takes time for your hair to grow in so it can be cut comfortably with an electric razor. Just make sure you are using an aftershave lotion or balm. Unscented at first may be best, less chance of irritation.
try a pre-electric lotion.
