But anyways I'm glad I have down the basics, I was just so curious after watching people on youtube shave their neck ATG and I was just like "Damn I wish I could do that".
Ok I am rather new at this myself but i'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you try a different DE.
Right from the get go I could go ATG on the neck, without even thinking about it, something I could never do with a cartridge razor. I cannot imagine how you can be having so much difficulty while I find that not only is the DE a better shave but an easier and faster shave, unless it is the razor itslef. I am not exactly known for my delicate touch or anything.
What are you using? I am new and only have 1 DE a Maggard mr1 (well 2 actually I bought a cosmetically damaged one for less $$$ from them to put in my gym/travel bag, but its the same thing). I suggest you look through this forum and see how others rate different DE`s. Again I only have experience with one but from what I understand there are different levels of agressivity and perhaps you have started with an extremely agressive DE.
