GLJ,

I am about 45 shaves into my straight shaving regimen and I can concur with Obie. I have yet to get a BBS on my neck. It was somewhere around shave 25 that I did notice that my shave improved on my neck. For me, my technique has improved mainly due to time with the razor in my hand. My hand at 45 shaves is so much more comfortable with the straight than at 15 shaves. It has been hard to see my growth from one shave to another so I decided to analyze about every tenth. With this I have seen that my learning curve is still pretty steep. Good luck with your progression!
