Thread: Can anyone help explain this?

Definitely pay real close attention to polishing up your technique. For me it seems like every six months or so I end up with about a week of bad shaves that has me going back to the basics. I find that I tend to get sloppy after a while but I just don't really notice until I get so sloppy that I have some pretty irritating shaves. For me it starts on teh neck too thats where my blade angle is the most important and when I stop paying attention this angle is the first to vary.

Well I am using two freshly honed and finished on CrO2 pasted strop razors. They have no problem passing every test we do so I'm at a loss about sharpness.

I realize it's difficult to do an analysis over a few lines in a post but I really don't think its about sharpness in this case.

I stretch my neck pretty taut but I'll concentrate on doing more.

I think maybe I had a strong reaction to the alum bar and I am still feeling the effects.

We'll see.

Have you tried applying some hair conditioner, or other skin moisturizer, to your beard before applying your lather? If not you might give that a try.
