Thread: Need suggestions- chin burns in 2 spots

I've made a lot of stupid mistakes early on that I wish I could warn other newbies about. It's really only now that I'm beginning to feel like a genuine straight user instead of some amateur hack who knows not what he does. If it wasn't for the help on SRP, I'd have been in even more trouble trying to learn everything involved.

I've only been shaving a couple of weeks and hadn't cut myself until this morning !

I lost concentration for a moment and swept the razor a little to far on a backhand sweep and sliced my neck on the collar line - luckily it onlybeaded , but I yelped loudly enough my Wife heard me in the bedroom

It is pretty much impossible to do a full on XTG pass on the neck, the razor wont cooperate. Am I just being to picky here, or is there a solution to this stubble? My hair seems to grow out from the adam's apple towards the ears if that helps at all.

I have that problem with the hair, I pull itfirst the right side and start slightly to the right of the adams apple and 'sweep' right across the grain, then pull the skin to the left and repeat to the left - works for me :biggrin:
