I am fed up with safety razors and one of my coworkers suggested this site and a straight blade. I have practically no experience with shaving with a straight razor. I would some input on a good blade to start with and technique, I have watched a few YouTibe videos and they make sense but would like a little more information. One big concern is even with a safety razor, due to the size of my Adam's apple, I cannot get a close shave in the "pockets" that it creates with the rest of my neck. I am not overweight so, these areas are pretty prominent. Normally, I either leave a Brillo pad in these areas or end up having to shave 3 different ways and often times nick myself there. My concern with a straight blade is how to manage these areas without looking like I had a run in with a Guillotine.

Thanks,
Trajanus
