The difference b/w the two shavers is really pronounced when doing the neck XTG from adams apple to chin. The Shavette glides up, cuts well and leaves a smooth skin finish and I feel very confident performing the pass, but with the St8, it feels like it's scraping the hairs off, is uncomfortable, leaves some redness immediately after and is not that smooth after the pass.
