Hello Gents...and ladies that may be reading,

I have been doing some lurking lately and trying new things as I am seeing ideas posted. Everyone seems to be having trouble with the neck area, including me. The part I am having a time with is going XTG on my neck, I just can't seem to angle my hands and razor the right way. I tried it about a week or so ago and even as I put the razor to my neck, I thought "this is going to cut me" so I stopped. What I have been doing and it results in quite a bit of irritation during the shave and a little bit after is going WTG down my neck, then ATG back up, and then WTG down again to clean it up some more of the leftover stubble.

I understand I have only been doing it for about a month, but I can get my face very near BBS, but not matter what I have done with the neck, it results in irritation during and after the shave with never close to even relatively smooth. It still feels like sandpaper when I am done with my neck. Appearance looks good, you can tell I shaved, but very rough to the feel. Does anyone have suggestions for what I may be doing wrong? I appreciate all responses and since I am looking for criticism here, I will not be offended .

Thanks for stopping by!
