Rash from shaving

Since the day I started shaving Ive always developed what appears to be a rash (possibly acne) on my neck under the far ends of my jaw bone.  I have tried every shaving cream under the sun, and none of them do anything to help the issue.  I've also tried only shaving in the direction of hair growth so as to eliminate/minimize the possibility of it being ingrown hairs.  Again, that doesn't help.  So I've been wondering if maybe I'm allergic to the metal in the razors or something.  Ive used different razors from different companies, but they were all big names...Mach 3 Turbo, Gillette Fusion (current), etc.  I havent really researched razors made with different materials yet.  Is this even a possible issue?  What else could be going on?

yes sir. As long as it is odour free..Without the perfume smell.  Damn., I thought about this on my own and now small bottles of oil are being sold in the shaving creme/razors aisles at about 8-9dolllars a bottle. I would have been rich if I created this product. Let me know how it goes.  You may try it without the shaving creme..

I guess it may also be important to point out that I'm currently 25 years of age.  And I also still have some minor acne issues on my face and body.
