I figured that was my cue I needed to take a break and slow down. So I did a little cheek cleanup and touched up my neck with my cart. That made me feel a little dirty inside...
I don't know if I will shave at all tomorrow. I am going to review my stripping techniques and my blade angles. I think I may be using too short of strokes. I also need to review how to better shave my jawline. I still feel like my angles are a bit awkward while shaving my neck. Thankfully I haven't been experiencing razor burn. It still is a struggle finding a good angle to shave around my goatee but my upper lip is much easier.
Does anyone use their right hand to shave the left side of their neck or vice versa? I feel like it might be easier but more prone to cuts.
