Yeah it grows from left > right but then goes right < left about 3/4 way over. Nightmare to shave.

Graham, for a long time I had this problem too. I always go for as close a shave as possible and I realised this was leading to a sore neck area and tender skin. I find easing off on the pressure for this area takes care of the problem. The skin on my neck is more sensitive and needs a light touch.

Cheers
Mark

I find that when I go for BBS, I'm just making a mess of my face.

Frustrating to say the least. Will hunt down a pre-shave oil tomorrow and give it a try.

Just give some sunflower oil a try (essential oil for scent optional)!

I wrote in another thread that I've just recently learned that Baby Oil is excellent for pre-shave.

Anyone had any first hand experience?
