yup ive decided to grow my beard out a little. for at least a week or two. but i just shaved the most challenging part...my neck. and im happy to report it went very well. i took the advice of a few different members and switched up my angle and lightened up on the pressure. the hairs cut beautifly and i was able to do a with the grain then a side to grain but not an against the grain. i tried but the way my hair grows ( on my neck its almost completly sideways) its just a challenge to me, so i did a side to grain going the other way.( first time ive ever done 3 passes) it looks nice theres virtually no razor burn or blood. so im happy. thanks for the advice.

ya i had an urge to just shave my whole face...but i stayed strong
