Very uncomfortable on neck and chin
Ive been shaving with a SR for maybe 2 weeks now and am shaving with a DOVO blackstar razor. For the last two weeks I shave my sideburns, cheeks, and upper lip and finsish everything else (neck and chin) with a regular multi-blade razor.
The last 4 days I have attempted to shave my neck and chin and it has been quite possibly one of the most painful experiences my face has ever had. My neck hair grows sideways from left to right all the way accross my neck and my chin grows down. When I shave down my neck it HURTS... the razor feels like it is plucking out every hair individually. And I cant figure out how to shave sideways because of the awkward hold position and the razor jumps and grabs and skips on my neck (not a pretty sight).
My chin is just impossible, I shave WTG on my chin and it almost brings me to tears. The aftermath is worse... my cheeks and upper lip is smooth as silk and just wonderful... my chin and neck is beat red, cut up, bleeding, and covered in razor bumps.
Ive searched the forum and found a couple things like scything? I dont know what to do maybe just practice more but if I dont get better in a couple more weeks I dont know if I can continue with a SR. My face cringes everytime it sees the blade come out.
The blade was professionally honed so maybe I dulled it with bad stopping? Is there anyone around Santa Barbara who can hone it for me?
