Rash from shaving

[RFehr613]

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?

well i decided to not use the lotion i have but instead buy something new.  i got some Nuetrogena (sp?) preshave cream.  its supposed to eliminate razor burn and ingrown hairs.  it certainly helped a lot, but i wouldt say its perfect.  i still get a slight rash :/

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..

Sensitive skin possibly,razor burn...try applying a lubricant to your face then the shaving cream.baby oil,lubriderm or any moisturizer....they have a shaving oil on the market but can be very expensive...in canada anyways..use a home remedity..good luck

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.
