I have some exquisitely painful razor burn on my neck right now. I mean, really. The image that comes to mind is the cover art of Weasels Ripped My Flesh. That doesn't really represent what it looks like, but it feels about as good as that looks.

So here's my question:

How do you prevent razor burn?

I've had a wet/dry electric, for years, and I shave in the shower. Much better than a blade, for me, anyway.

Really? I've always had pretty crappy luck with electrics. I had a Braun that worked ok on my high school chin fuzz, but not much else.

Yup. Neither one does me right. If I want a clean shave, it's one pass with a blade, to clear the rough, then a pass with the electric to get smooth, both under a stream of hot water.

I have a panasonic wet/dry rechargable.
