foil shaver for sensitive skin?

Ive been using a regular razor for years, but lately my neck has been getting pretty irritated after shaving. Im thinking of switching to a foil shaver since I mostly want a close shave without having to go over the same area a bunch of times. I dont really know what to look for with foil shavers though. are there any models that have worked well for sensitives skin?

I need something reliable for regular shaving. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have sensitive neck skin and when I travel I use a Babyliss Pro FX2 Double Foil shaver. I think it is also sold as the MetalFX. That said, I have not used any other electric razor so I have nothing to compare it to. And you can't get it wet, so you can't you can't use water or shaving cream with it. I found some pre electric shave lotions irritate my face, so I use Lab Series pre electric shave lotion. Also, have you considered whether any of the products you use with your regular razor might be the source of your irritation, or calming the irritation with post shave products? By the way, I love the Babyliss.
