OK .... everyone knows about the pre-shave prep .... everyone uses a keen razor, or as close to it as they are capable .... yea, and the power of proper stretching.

But one thing about the throat, and the hollow areas there is I really don't use the entire length of the razor. It's just the heel or front part. I get much closer to the areas in contact with just a portion of the blade there doing this ..... and I take shorter stokes than than on the flats of the cheeks.

If something is not working for you, you can't expect different results if nothing in technique changes .....
