I apply more pre shave oil and fresh hot lather..... have you dulled your edge stropping?... I did that too! Then I practiced and practiced and practiced with the strop so that i wouldn't dull my razor again... Now I get a good shave wtg.... still working on xtg and atg on my neck... but my sideburns, cheek and chin are fine....can't figure out how to go atg on my neck when my beard grows from left to right..... I'll get there... maq
