The hair seemed to just melt away. It seemed as if the less pressure I used, the better it worked. This had to have been my best shave yet. Thank you so much everyone for all your assistance. Especially Lynn. Thank you for organizing this site so that all these like minded people can discuss and exchange ideas.
That's fantastic! Glad you had a successful shave! I was about to mention the skin stretching as it makes a big difference for me, but it sounds like you finally got it to all come together. Congrats!

+1 on that. My neck, which has always been a problem area for me, hasn't felt this good since before I had whiskers! I do, in fact, find myself looking forward to my next shave.

Keep at it Mr. Clean!
