Noob from NC with RAD, bad! And a question.
Ok... I think I have calmed down a bit, but is this normal? I have been scouring ebay, thrift stores/antique shops, and selling other stuff that I don't "need," on CL to support this "affliction." I started with a Dovo that a good friend (Moosiker) sold to me, and now have like 12 straights and 8 of them are shave ready razors... 3 Simmons Hardware (a Barber's Pet, and a Keen Kutter Royal, and one without a tm name), One Robeson 300, a Gebruder Christians (Solingen), etc... So far my favorite shaver is the Simmons Barbers pet, although the Robeson is pretty awesome too.
On top of that I bought a 7 safety razor lot and cleaned them up. Is it wrong of me to absolutely love shaving? I have been getting up 45 minutes to an hour earlier every morning just so I can take my time shaving. I have totally taken over the guest bathroom with my "stuff."
Right now, since I am working on my technique, I am starting the shave WTG twice with my Straight, then finishing up with the DE. I am getting a consistent DFS, but there are always just a couple places on the neck where my hair is impossible to map that I just can't get BBS.
So on to the other question:
What do I do in the places where the direction changes several times? I have two spots on the side of my jawline on the right side that the direction changes more than once. When I shave down the cheek then down the neck, it is actually going XTG. How do I get that part smooth?
