Hey guys,

I've started trying to go against the grain on my second pass after watching lynn's dvd. For the most part its ok, but i get chaffing on the neck especially down near the adam's apple. My razor is sharp, and i'm passing the hanging hair test and thumb pad test.

I tried to look at the hair on my neck and it seems that down at that adam's apple region the hair starts to go in an non-uniform direction. Some hair goes side ways some grows upwards and some downwards. So i'm wondering if maybe i just shouldn't bother with shaving up my neck. I think i may try shaving at a 45 degree angle as lynn suggested and see if i get better results.

Does anyone have any tips, i do like the closeness you get with a second pass but my neck sure doesn't.

Orfeo

ps: using the left hand going up against the grain on my right neck is really hard at the moment, i'm not totally ambidextrous yet and trying to learn in a mirror is disorientating :/ but i guess this will come with time.
