Hi ya'll,

I've gotten pretty good at shaving the cheeks with my razor. I always leave the goatee part unshaved. However, I can't ever seem to get a good smooth shave on the neck. I'm not old so I don't have loose neck skin. I always shave down, with the grain, rinse, relather, and then up, against the grain. Despite this technique, I still can't get it smooth. Technique issue? Equipment issue? Honing needed?

Any suggestions or advise?
