    OK, I have a Portland Razor Co. Sprite in production. It has a 2" blade. I have a full beard, all but part of the neck, which seems to make this razor make some sense. I do not have any hollows in my neck or many other places for that manner. Skinny people are the first to get kidnapped, and old people like me are seldom kept as hostages. Any thoughts on my razor selection being a successful tool for the limited service for which I purchased it?

    I purchased a razor with a concave blade and it works great on your neck. You don't need a drastic curve to get a really smooth shave. I picked up a sheffield razor on Ebay and after the proper honing, it shaves like a dream.

    I'm confused, what's your question?

    I don't think he was 'asking a question,' just stating what works for himself.

    Razor delivered, and I have had about 5 shaves with it, and I'm pleased. My stropping technique is a work in process, but the razor was delivered shave ready and I've kept it that way. I only shave on my neck around a beard, so I have limited my exposure. Very pleased with Portland Razor company.
