Alternatives to Electric Shave Lotions for Sensitive Neck Areas?

I've been really enjoying my electric shaver, especially for my face and head where it gives a close, smooth shave without irritation. However, I'm running into a consistent issue with shaving my neck — the shaver seems to struggle with flat-lying hairs and occasionally pulls on them, which is quite uncomfortable. I've heard that using an electric shave lotion might help, but I'm concerned about the potential drying effects. I've read about the Remington powder stick too, but I'm not keen on inhaling powder. Does anyone have recommendations for products or techniques that can help with a sensitive neck area during electric shaving? Perhaps there are some lesser-known alternatives that could provide a smooth shave without the drawbacks I mentioned. I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences and suggestions.

Try altering the shaving direction for the neck area.

I've had similar struggles. Have you tried adjusting the shaver's angle? It helped me with the flat-lying hairs. Sorry for your experience.

Pre-shave oil might just be your savior, combined with skin tension.

Consider pre-trim; a harmonious blend of precision before smoothness.

Pre-shave oil might be a gentler option for sensitive skin.

Try stretching the skin with your free hand while shaving your neck to make the flat hairs stand up for an easier cut.

Try using a pre-shave oil on your neck before using the electric shaver. It can help soften the hairs and reduce pulling.
