i don't ever use an electrical, doesn't cut up my hair well, just seems to yank on it. i also have a sensitive neck. so when i use a regular straight edge, i do one of two things... either i shave right after getting out of the shower while the skin (and usually hair, too, i shave only every 3-5 days, i'm lazy) is still wet and soft, or i take a wash cloth, soak it with warm to hot water and then hold that up to my neck so that it can moisten and soften the hair. and i usually don't get many nicks or cuts that way, unless the razor's old.
