I really need help, I have tried SR shaving three times now and am not having much luck. My problem I think is that the grain of my beard doesn't run parallel to my neck. It actually runs almost parallel to my jawline so it is slightly diagonal if that makes any sense. Also, I have a beard and am only really looking to shave my neck and part of my cheeks. My razor is sharp it was just honed and stropped but it just seems to tug and not really get mauch of the whiskers off. I am using Art of Shaving pre-shave oil and cream. I think i am getting a good lather. All this leads me to believe it's a technique issue maybe? Any ideas ? Help !
