After my shaves my neck is very irritated, I have a bottle of nivea after shave balm witch stills the irritation a bit. but is there anything else i might do to prevent this? could this depend on a bad lather? I think i do the face prep right. (apply hot water, lather up, hot towel and relather)

I was looking for a second razor and foud this on ebay:
Gold Dollar 208 or 66 Straight Razor 3in1 Stand Holder Shaving Brush Bowl | eBay

Opinions? Is GD's good for learning to hone? Whats the different between GD's 66 and 208?

Neck irritation could well be you use too much pressure pushing the razor on the skin. Use no pressure against the skin.

GD's are generally considered a waste of money, but people have the odd success story to tell. you might be lucky.
