I'm having difficulty getting my neck, which mostly has sideways growing hairs, to a "stubble-free" result without a lot of passes (and resulting irritation).

Stretching the skin in the valleys along the trachea to either side so it was on a flat area, and then shaving with downward passes, followed by upward passes required 5-8 total passes to get rid of the stubble. (I'm sure the razor is sharp, and it shaves great everywhere else).

My neck hairs grow from the left towards the right, so I can pull the skin to the left, and shave the left-side trachea & trachea valley with my right hand using diagonally sideways strokes - and get smooth results in 2-3 total passes and no irritation.

On the right side of my neck, I still need to pull the skin to the left to get the hairs to stand up - but I can't figure out a way to shave diagonally sideways afterwards. If I stretch the skin with my right hand, the right thumb and wrist are in the way when I try to shave (plus I have to stretch a lot to reach that far accross with my right hand). If I stretch the neck skin with my left hand, I can't figure out a way to hold the razor with my right hand. Hinging the handle so that it was in-line with the blade would work - if my collarbone & upper chest weren't in the way. Hinging the handle open 135 degrees and only holding the handle would work, but then I'd be relying on the pivot being really really tight, because I'd have no fingers on the blade. Doesn't seem like a good idea...

Is there a solution I'm missing ?

Thanks.
