Thread: De-lurking 60 shaves in

I've been straight razor shaving since August. I have two professionally honed razors and two inexpensive (but very good) Kropps which I honed myself. Although I took to DE shaving like a duck to water, the cut-throats have been a bit more tricky and I'm still not up to DE standard with my shaves. My neck has been a particular challenge (where the grain runs horizontally) and I'm constantly trying to think of new ways of tackling that problem with the help of advice here.

However, I'm still enjoying it very much and I wanted to say thanks to everyone for taking the time to post things on here and making the learning process that much easier.

Same here. I've started tackling this in earnest.

Keep it up! You'll find what works for you eventually. Just don't give up!

The neck area is tricky for everybody....
