Something is wrong in that case,

my skin prefers shaving every other day


not enough stretching has given me less frequent problems than over stretching
my neck is VERY peculiar about how I shave in regards to the grain and how I stretch it; instead of pulling DOWN on the bottom of my neck and shaving above my stretching fingers, I need to stretch up on my check/jaw and put my head down so my chin is against my throat and shave UNDER my stretching fingers
my finishing edge is of big importance to me
finding the right angle is a must, and it's different for every razor
as little pressure as possible, just the weight of the blade only


Shave for comfort, nothing else, the rest will come with time

DE blades are not my thing, I find 'em too thin and clumsy to use them much; ergo I switched to SRs, I do enjoy them occasionally but would prefer the old thicker blades they used back in the day
