Well, after joining this forum almost two years ago, and after multiple attempts at using a ProGlide, a safety razor and having a love hate relationship with the safety razor, I can finally say I've had the best shave with my safety razor. My problem the whole entire time was my angle! I had the razor handle way too high up off my face and I thought that was the proper way of holding it, I was wrong. I sat the razor at my sideburn and tilted it just until the blade touched my face, and let me tell you it was a night and day experience. I remember coming on this forum and complaining that the safety razor was litterally plucking my hairs out on my neck, well after using the "new" angle I can say that the "plucking" was GONE! I couldn't believe it, I was in totally amazement. I could finally get to go against the grain with NO pain what so ever. But even still I had bumps on my neck the next day, but NOT becasue of the razor, but becasue my facial hair has a bit of a curl, which is what I'm assuming.
