Thread: East to west pass across the neck

I'm sure this has probably been asked before, I apologize in advance. Against the grain for me on my neck is east to west not south to north. My question how do you guys tackle that with a straight , I've been trying to modify my grip and angling the length of the razor on 45 degree degree to kind of get a diagonal cut it helps some but usually I have to run my safety razor over a few spots to get them mowed down the rest of the way. Curious to hear your responses. Thank you all in advance

Skin stretching is your friend here. You can manipulate your skin to suit your stroke but don't get too hung up on it, 45 degrees across the grain should suffice.

It's like no matter how much I stretch or try it's just never as close as it could be , like you said tho maybe I shouldn't be overly concerned with it either

It will come together over time. For me, my neck is the hardest part to shave, if my razor is not perfect I will bot get the perfect shave.

I have the smashed wire brush hair growth, as well.
Thru trial n error I came up with what I call the X pass.




Ya just have to experiment till you find what works for you. But I'll say this...the older we get, the more skin stretching comes to play. Even more so for me. After loosing 100+ lbs.and having my rotten teeth pulled I was left with lots of loose skin, and a lot more contours in my face.
