Thread: Struggling to move forward

Im a newbie when it comes to straight razor shaving and my best guess is i have used a straight for roughly 30 times now.

Some areas go pretty well, and some don't go that well.

Some were expected (chin) but there is 1 part that keeps bothering me. Its the jawline on the right side of my face. And a part *higher part of my neck?*

Here iis a picture to kinda show what area i mean:



To be clear. I am right handed and use my right hand when doing X/W the grain (downward) and my left hand going upward.

This part however is not even close to being smooth most of the time. Of course im a beginner so i don't mind but i was wondering on how to improve here.

Should i just keep on shaving and shaving and will it go better/smoother as i go? Or should i try vary something technique/hand/angle.

One of the reasons it bothers me is because especially the neck part is really easy to stretch. Is that really just because im a beginner and my left hand is so much worse than my right? (Second pass A/Xtg)
