I have the most jacked up neck hair known to man. These omnidirectional short and curleys are the bane of my shaving existence. I have tried everything on the face of the planet to “sooth the irritation and breakouts caused by shaving”. Here’s my cure and recommendation. Based on the cost of today’s Battery powered super shavers with 24 blades, go with the laser hair removal. I had 2 treatments @ $180 each and the hair volume has dropped about 70%. If you do the math, this probably pays itself back within a few years. This solution may seem a bit metrosexual..but when shaving is this painful and ugly, you have do take extraordinary measures.
