Okay, I tried going across the grain this morning in the area of my unruly neck hair. I'm still having some issues on either side of the Adam's Apple right where chin meets neck. I go up and down with the blade and then at an odd, almost 45 degree. The problem is that the neck hair is actually running side to side, so the up and down strokes are truly XTG and I don't know WTF to call the 45 degree thing. So I decided today to try to truly go with the gain.

Not a good idea. I did get a little closer but I didn't compleely get rid of those hairs. However, I did manage to make my neck look like Jack the Ripper had paid a visit.

Seriously, one part of my neck looks like I was an extra in a horror movie.

Thank God I'm a trained EMT because I'm all bandaged up, but it looks horrible.

Not happy about this. I'm just going to go back to the way I had been doing it. BBS everywhere but that one spot and no knicks when I do it the old way.
