Experienced shavers: please help!! I just got a Dovo Prima Silver Steel SR which had great reviews on amazon and other sites. I got everything I needed to hone and strop razor. I have a lot of experience with wet shaving but with a DE. I have two issues for which I’m hoping some people will have some advice.

First issue is that it seems as if the razor is sticking to my face. The razor also does not feel that smooth on my face. I almost feel like if I make a stroke it’s going to cut my skin off. So this has been making it difficult to make confident strokes because I’m worried about cutting my skin. Sharpness should not be an issue because I honed the razor well and put it to the strop. I took it up to a 12,000 Shapton stone. I’ve been careful to not roll the edge on the strop. Does this sound like an angle issue?? Or do I suck at honing??

My second issue is shaving my neck. I absolutely cannot get a burn free shave on my neck. I have a large Adam’s apple and have two concaves on either side of it so it’s very difficult. In fact, I had trouble with a DE for a long time. Any advice on this??

Thanks for your help and happy shaving!
