Well...I shaved this morning, and it got a bit better. I really took the time to strop 50 stokes on each side of the strop which made the blade easily take the hairs off my forearm. I then worked at finding an angle that worked well with less irritation. I found that I was shaving my neck at too steep of an angle. I also resorted to shaving my chin and left half of my neck with the quattro, as they were still feeling irritated. All in all, a good shave. I just have to keep working at the technique in order to get better shaves.
