Title: how do you get the neck??
Post by: carryboy on May 27, 2008, 08:49:49 AM

So it's been 2 weeks or so since I went sly; I'm getting fairly good with the heablade.  But one problem I just can't solve is the hair in the back~ the bottom neckline.  (You know, where shaving against the grain is like trying to follow a bouncing football?)   
How do you guys do it?  Does it just take practice figuring out which way to shave it?

Thanks guys~

I just shave it the same as the rest, no problem.

I have patches at the back base of the neck, on either side, that I can never get completely smooth.  I live with it.

I also have some difficulty getting the back of my neck smooth, I get it the bast i can and then say screw it.

i can't really go against the grain back there without getting bumps or irritation.  normally i do my whole head against, then on the neck i just go from the bottom up, with the grain.  if i have an important event and want to look immaculate, i suck it up and go very very carefully and slowly on a diagonal and suck it up when i'm all itchy the next day.

I use the razor I shave my face with to clean up my neck, though the HeadBlade usually gets most of it.

I use an electric shaver to touch up my "hard to get smooth" spots.  The base of my skull is the hardest for some reason.
