Hello all.

This is my first post outside of introduction so be gentle.

I have a 6/8 TI fox and rooster straight, full ground, new from Phil at classic edge in Canada.

It shave the hairs off my arm above the skin with ease and I can hear each one getting cut. I have been using a lot of prep and changed things around lately to cold water due to the stories I've heard with respect to less irritation. I concur so far but my problem is with the neck regardless of prep type.

Shaving the neck (wtg going s/n) is very difficult despite prep, angle etc as far as I have tried. I can switch to my Dovo shavette (which I trained on first) and it is much easier and effective. The TI stutters, skips, stops and I'm hesitant to continue. I have gotten through about 50% of my neck with very short, buffing strokes. Regardless, my neck has lots of burn and red following.

any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

John
