I have a full beard and only really shave my neckline.
- Prep: warm shower w/ shampoo and conditioner.

- Razor: Henson
- Blade: RK stainless
- Lather: Proraso sapone da barba rinfrescante
- Post Shave: cold water rinse
- Fragrance: Dolce&Gabana the one
Not particularly happy. I have sensitive skin and to get anywhere to a close shave I end up with a few red spots. They don’t hurt, but don’t look good.

Lower neck is difficult for tons of people. I stopped going against the grain there a couple years ago and it has been smooth sailing.

I don’t go fully against it, I go something like 60 degrees from fully against. Might have to increase the angle. I now that at 180 (with the grain) the shave looks like a day or more older. Thanks for the feedback!
