Unsightly red dots after shaving... pls help.

Dear Sirs,
While the majority of you gentlemen, judging by this wonderful forum's list of topics, seem to have problems with blades and sensitive skin, I am afflicted by this peculiar problem: after shaving myself with a wilkinson's four-blades razor (I am planning the switch to a more traditional tool) and not cutting or bruising my skin, off I go into the vast world.
After a day, when the beard starts to grow, I notice very unsightly rlittle raised red dots under my chin, on my throat. Not on the cheeks or under my nose. I assume it's hair that's growing under my skin.
I always shave against the hair, for the record. I don't use any shaving oil or aftershave cream. I usually leave the shaving cream on my face for three minutes, and then start shaving.
I wonder if you fellow adventurers have some good advice for me?
Thank you for your help.
PS I am going to buy some Taylor's products, suppose I can ignore teh shaving oil as I don't need to moisturize my skin before shaving.
