And, where my neck might have felt BBS before, there is noticeable stubble. I think this is because the skin of my neck cooled down, and contracted.
For this reason, and this is the only area, I will sometimes splash COLD water over my neck and make a final pass. And/or will actually shave it dry, without soap. Seems like the hair, (half way between beard and hair), sticks up more in a prickly sort of way. But, still can be easily nicked off by the blade.
