    Some try switching hands and never quite master it. Are you using dominant hand for full shave?

    I rest my case.

    That area and just under the chin were the hardest places for me, I'm pretty sure I was at probably shave 30+ before I started to figure those areas out. If you are at shave 11 with no irritation you are doing fine.

    Thanks guys. Sharptonn I switch hands through the shave. On my neck though I end up using my dominant hand for 90% of it.

    Well I would say you are off to a good start. One thing I would mention is that some one on one mentoring is invaluable. Try adding your location to your profile and we can see who is nearby.

    You're communicating fine! Keep seeking and keep asking, Everything will fall into place.

    One thing worth thinking about on difficult areas like your neck is what approach angles were best for you when using a DE razor. Then figure out how to emulate them with a straight (without hurting yourself).
