Flipped my razor angle after a neck rash streak
Used to hold my straight razor almost flat against the skin, like I saw in old videos. For about 6 months I kept getting these angry red bumps on the neckline, especially in humid summer weather. Switched to a steeper 30 degree angle and lighter pressure, plus cold water rinse after the shave. Has anyone else had to unlearn an old habit because of irritation, or is it just me?

Man, come on, a razor angle change is not some big life lesson you had to unlearn lol. People mess with their shave all the time, it's not like you were doing something crazy for 6 months. Red bumps on the neck in summer could just as easy be sweat and friction from your collar, not some magic 30 degree number. I've gone steeper, flatter, whatever, and honestly the bumps come and go depending on the day. Cold water rinse feels nice but it's not curing anything, your skin just calms down on its own half the time. Glad your neck feels better but calling it unlearning a habit is kinda a stretch, you just changed how you hold the thing.
