Hi everyone,

So I am about 3 to 4 months into my straight razor shaving journey and my shaves have improved quite a bit since I first started. I am able to get a very close and comfortable shave on my cheeks, chin, and mustache area. Thats the good news.

Now for the problem, I am not able to shave my neck with the comfort and closeness I am getting on the other areas of my face. I end up with irritation and razor burn on my neck, when I don't have any on the rest of my face. Also, my shave isn't nearly as close on my neck. I try and stretch the skin , use no pressure, and go with the grain of the growth as much as I can. But, the hair on my neck grows in different and difficult patterns; mainly growing from my Adam's Apple out towards my ear.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get a closer more comfortable shave on the neck? Any help woluld be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!
