Hi guys!
I've been shaving with a straight for about 4-5 months now and my shaves keep getting better and better, so is my honing.
However I have a problem area, my neck, on the upper part of my face the shaving is great, cheeks,around lips etc.
I use two passes WTG and ATG, I watch my angles and pressure. My blade passes the HHT and looks pretty good under my 10$ microscope.
A couple of shaves ago I tried to let my face "rest" a little longer then I usually do,normally i go two days between shaves, but that time I did'nt shave for 4-5 days. And the shave was great!No irritation!And really smooth on my neck,almost BBS..
Can you guys help me figure this out?I would love to be able to only go two days between shaves without irritation. What is the problem?Ingrown hairs?Irritation due to technique?Blade sharpness?
I use a Aloe Vera facewash once a day.
The flash from the camera exaggerates the problem quite a bit. The photo is of my neck after my last shave. The big "bump" is a mole of some kind.
