Should I get a straight razor?
Hi guys. I am new to this site as of about 10 minutes ago. I have been a member at badger and blade for a while, but now I am interested in getting into straight razor shaving.
I have been using a DE safety razor now for around 3 years, and I am loving it. But I want to take the next step.
There is one main issue that is keeping me from diving right in. As with DE shaving, I know that I should start with the grain. The only problem I have is that the hair on my neck grows straight sideways. Coupled with the defined adam's apple and relatively deep indentations below my jawline, it seems near impossible to be able to shave straight sideways on my neck. It is hard enough to do with a de safety razor.
Does anybody else have this problem? Should I just shave straight down my neck and ignore the direction of the grain?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
