Its been about 8 weeks since my first straight shave. So far I am loving it and I still can't believe I am really shaving with a straight razor. My progression is still increasing but at a slower pace than initially. The main problem is my neck. No matter how I stretch my skin, my neck ends up with an uneven shave. I just can't get the lower side of my neck where it indents to be as close as the other parts.

I do have very sensitive skin that is prone to ingrown hair and breakouts. That is why I have always shaved with the grain in the past using my safety razors.

Today I grew some and decided to go against the grain on my neck. I did get some irritation BUT no cuts and it is much more even!!

So with a straight razor, will going against the grain cause me to break out and have ingrown hairs?

Anyone else go against the grain on their neck?

Any other suggestions to conquering my neck?

Thank you for the help.
