Some of the old boxes that razors came in have instructions on the inside of the box. Something like "Start with the razor flat against your face and lift until it cut properly." Well something like that anyway :<0)

"Virtually flat" or "As flat as possible" is some of the advice.

If the spine is flat on your face the torque must bias toward the edge. If it is on the spine you are effectively lifting the edge .

On my neck the whiskers grow particularly flat to my skin and are almost impossible to shave with the grain. I get those ones against the grain. Angle is important.

Is that tall or wide?

I've been dialing in the angle on various spots of face and neck since shave #1. Folks aren't kidding with 100 shave rule. Cheeks are BBS daily but lots of room for improvement on my neck. Still making progress, and still loving my daily shave.
