Here I am after my first week of trying the straight razor and I still can't complete my neck without reaching for my d/e...

I still feel a little uneasy with my non-dominant hand; but, am okay for most of my face. When I reach the neck, I can get in a few short strokes below the jaw line; but, it just seems to start to pull as I work my way down...

I don't think it's the razor(s)- I bought 2 professionally sharpened and I have no such issues on my face. Upper lip and chin aren't an issue as I wear a goatee.

I know one of my limitations in having all this "catch on" is my eyesight; that is, I am rather farsighted and need my glasses to see what I am doing. And I am rather amblyopic... favoring my left eye. Further, some of the angles I turn to in the mirror force me to look "around" my glasses rendering them useless and me frustrated. I sense that once I get the "feel" for the straight razor I will be fine; just as I am with the d/e.

Suggestions and moral support are equally welcome...

TIA,
