Okay gents, I'm going to start off by saying that I am still in my first couple of months of using the straight edge as my primary shaving device, so technique is still a potential factor in all my problems!
However, I am noticing a definite pattern forming in relation to the length of my stubble / comfort of my shave.
If a have greater than 2 days growth then I am able to achieve a smooth comfortable shave in 2-3 passes.
If I try to shave everyday then I am still able to achieve a smooth finish, but it is taking iro 1 extra pass, and it is leaving me very red and inflamed, especially around the neck below the jawline, either side of the adams apple. This effect is not restricted to only the straight edge, as I have attempted using only a good quality cartridge for this area to relieve the issue without much improvement.
Consequently I am not an everyday shaver atm.
My facial hair is very wiry and course, but not overly densely packed, if that makes any kind of sense!

Has anyone else had similar problems, and how did you deal with them?

Thanks
P
