    Default once over shave questions

    I've gotten my technique down to were I can get BBS w/o razor bumps as long as I give my neck a day to recover between shaves but every other day isn't enough to feed my addiction so I've decided to do the once over shave during the week and maybe a really close 2 passes on the weekend.
    For a close, even, once over shave, the barbering text in the SRP library recommends a stroke with the grain and a quick follow-up stroke across (the chevron type motion that was mentioned in one of the older threads). I can do the chevron motion on the face and jawline but I was wondering how this would be accomplished on this on the neck since across the grain on the neck is actually going up vertically. Could anybody help clarify this?

    Roger that! I guess not too many people are on board with the once over shave it sounds like. I've got curly *^w hairs on the neck and if I'm going for BBS I have to be super cautious, super low angle, light touch, etc and I have to skip a day afterward. I'd rather get a pretty close once over shave everyday during the week and I can go all out for the weekend. I guess I'll just experiment a little bit more.
