    Default Gave in, touched up with a DE

    Sorry guys, but last night I couldn't face going against the grain on my cheeks knowing the pulling and uncomfortable result. So I whipped out my Merkur Futur and did my neck and face again ATG. Now that was a close shave! BBS everywhere. I know I shouldn't have but I was a little tired of not being smooth on my neck and feeling like I was ripping my cheeks off going upwards. Any suggestions.

    Nothing to feel bad about! Learning any skill takes time and practice, it's perfectly okay to decide one day that you just don't feel like practicing that day. And giving your face time to rest will help your next attempt with the straight. Keep trying and you'll improve for sure, but don't force the issue.

    Tell us about your razor and how many times you have tried to shave with it. The more detail the better.

    Yes tell more details so we can help also that is the best way to learn a little at a time. Keep that DE out till you master it doing a little more straight and a little less DE every time
