Well, I got a great shave today. After doing an experiment in stropping I started my shave and restropped for 5 passes on both linen/leather between my 1st and 2nd passes on my face.

I ended with with a very smooth shave and no cuts or nicks I count about 9 all total (mostly on my chin) and I do hope they don't leave scars. I don't really want to look like Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre

I've still got the area dead center on my chin that's left after I attack my chin from left to center and right to center. But all in all, it was one great shave.

I've also re-watched a little video from someone called Lynn and he suggested that on the neck you stretch the skin sideways. I've tried this and it makes an immense difference. I get hairs on my neck halfway down that grow up and flat. Doing this (which is taking the skin on the neck and stretching it toward the back under the ear) as made a huge difference. I was already getting smooth shaves on my neck and this just made it smoother.
