I'm a relatively new member of the forum, and new to shaving with straights, so there may be a a link that addresses this elsewhere, and if so please direct me.

I have particular problems with shaving around a couple of surgical scars on different sides of my neck. They're barely visible, but provide enough change in texture/contour of the shaving line that my razor either wants to bounce over them (like a car on a washboard gravel road) leaving a series of abrasions, or to bite in and cut. Any pointers would be appreciated.
