Plus I am used to the swivel of the cartridge razor, so understanding that the DE does not move, I can understand my angles more.

Thank you again to all!

Good to hear

I wanted to try shaving crème instead of soap, and it seems when I use the crème I get RB. I don't seem to get it with soap.

Hi, I'm in the same boat having only recently started using a DE full time (due to circumstances).

I find the burn happens if I rush and go against the grain on my neck first pass or if I go over the same area a bit too much and too heavily, I was surprised at how easy this was!

If I take my time (still half the time of the SR as much as I'm missing them ATM) I get a DFS with 2 passes WTG and touch ups.

Have fun!

Mike:

For the future try to use 3P. It works real nice on me. I do reco that product.

thanks
