I've found that I seem to have a better angle starting at the top of my head and moving down to the neck. Back of my head does present a bit of a steeper challenge and it seems like I can't always get a perfect shave back there. I have a lot of scars back there though.
I also have scars in the back from previous bouts with ingrown hairs. But tilting my head (putting chin on chest) helped a ton! Getting smooth shaves back there now!

I often forget to do that. My scars are from multiple brain surgeries.

Been a while since I posted here, but here we go:
Mike's Eucalyptus and Lemon grass. Almost out of this soap though 😭
Feather travel razor (not the Feather Portable)
I think a Feather blade
Whipped Dog Silvertip with resin handle. So good, I might get another couple!
Dessert was witch hazel followed by Nivea ASB.
Great shave!

Saturday, April 26, 2014 SOTD
Razor: Cobra Classic
Blade: Kai
Soap: TIKI Bar Sandalwood
Brush: TSN Semogue 2012 LE
Dessert: Ice cube rub, refrigerated WH, refrigerated Osage Rub
Wow...I had such a relaxing shave that I did not want it to end. If any one is on the fence on trying a DE or SE razor, you should try it out. With patience, you will be rewarded with a great shave. Enjoy your weekend. I know I will.

@Greatnessinc: How do you like your Gillette Slim? I have a 1966 Gillette Slim that I love and treasure. It was a gift from my beautiful wifey. It is quality built and shaves like a dream.

I'm still adjusting to the weight so I haven't quite perfected getting a smooth shave on the back of my head. First day I used it I cut myself for the first time in a long while. If I wasn't working on my beard, I'm sure it'd shave my face like a boss.

You are really going to love that Slim, let the weight of the Slim do the work for you. It is built like a tank and shaves like a dream. It is a quality built vintage razor. Enjoy.

Tuesday, April 29, 2014 SOTD
Razor: 1969 Gillette Super Adjustable (aka the "Black Beauty")
Blade: Feather
Brush: Semogue 620
Soap: Strop Shoppe (Barber Shoppe)
Dessert: Ice cube rub, refirgerated WH, refrigerated Osage Rub
Ahhhhhh just enjoyed an incredible face & dome shave with my Black Beauty. The Feather blade will always be in my rotation along with the Semogue 620. The Strop Shoppe soap is super slick and provides a lot of cushion. The scent is clean and crisp. Life is.great!!!
