Thanked: 44Neck difficulties
I've been SR shaving daily for about 2 months, but I'm having to do way to many passes on my neck to achieve a decent shave. If anyone has any ideas that might help me with the problem below, let me know.
Here's my problem: When I pass my hand over the stubble it's obvious the hairs grow sideways from left to right, points a little bit upward, and lies flat to the skin. So I stretch the skin to the left to get the hairs to stand up. Shaving the left side of the neck ATG works, since it's going from the center outward (diagonally), but shaving the right side ATG causes the razor to dig into the trachea no matter what I try.
I'm still working on finding a way to go ATG on the right side, but in the mean time, I do N-S, diagonally outward and downward, S-N, diagonally upward and toward the center, and in a sything motion with lots of swing around the pivot that causes a small part of the tip to travel close enough to straight across that it cuts some of the stubble ATG. If I repeat the sything pass twice, I usually get a close enough shave that the neck hairs don't start sticking into my shirt collar (shirt & tie job), until 2-3 pm (which is an improvement over the 10am they used to start sticking at before I started using a SR, but not quite good enough yet).
