I get better results on my neck if I _really_ stretch the skin in front of the blade. It's loose (at my age, it has a right to be loose), and tends to bunch-up and catch in front of the razor's edge. The temptation to use a DE for the neck is very, very strong.<g>

Yeah, I didn't really even try buffing. I just went over spots again with no lather. Bad idea. Lol.



Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely continue to try to improve my techniques upon subsequent shaves.
