Men who have had neck dissection, how do you shave?

Good evening,

Had a neck dissection eight months or so ago, neck has recovered well, but I have not yet mastered shaving.

I have found electric razers are more comfortable but can't get under my chin and leave loads behind, I have used metal razers, and although this is much better and leaves a good shave, I have been advised by the hospital not to shave this way. They say my neck is more prone to infection which could cause swelling if I nip the skin. I can't feel anything under my chin so I could cut it open and not feel a thing.

If I could grow a beard I would, but im patcy so it would look a state.:D

    I hope you won't mind a woman replying (and  no I am not a bearded lady!).  I was wondering if its worth asking your docs if you can use 'hair removal creams' for sensitive skin (of course, you may already have done so). Just a thought. All the best with  your recovery. Jules54
