The trim trick that stopped my neckline irritation overnight

I had this customer for about 6 months who kept getting these red bumps on his neck no matter what I did. Tried different blades, different foils, even changed my aftershave routine on him. Finally I realized I was stretching his skin too tight when I did the outline. I loosened up my grip and went with a lighter touch on the clipper over comb on that area. Next visit he said the bumps were gone after 3 days. Has anyone else had to adjust their skin stretching to avoid irritation?

Six months of red bumps and you just had to loosen your grip? That's like finding out you've been holding the clippers upside down the whole time. At least the guy didn't leave a bad Yelp review first.

Six months of red bumps though? That's dedication to a bad grip I guess, but man that's a long time to just assume it was your skin or something.

Nah, @the_william, six months is just stubborn hope that it'll fix itself.
