Back of head/upper neck

• Hi Eeryone, I got a question and I hope this is the right section for it, apologies in advance if it ain't.
  I been sly for about 9 days or so now, and before this I been shaving my head to a short crew cut for about 4 years.
  I use the fusion 5 blade with the headslick cream (tried headblade against the grain but I got a lot of cuts with it) and follow up with a cold water rinse/ice cube and then some after shave moisturizer.
  
  anway I used to be kind of overweight (still am a little bit but I'm working on it ) and I find I have some folds in the back of my neck/lower dome area and sometimes when I'm shaving I get cut there (not all the time) and I just wondering if there a way to avoid this.  I'm sure some of it comes with practice, since I've read some of you do yer whole head in the shower.   I tried just going with the grain, but it still gets kind of irritated around this area.  I am gonna get some alcohol free witch hazel soon and hopefully that will help.
   Does anyone else have this kind of problem? will these folds go away as I lose weight, or is it just the shape of my head? lol

• Bend your head forward... as if you are looking down.... chin toward chest. This will smooth out those wrinkles.

• What Mike said .... Plus ... You can also place your non-razor-wielding hand on top of your dome, apply a little pressure and pull towards your forehead. This will tighten the skin even more.

• What Mike said should help smooth out the creases in the lower head and neck area. You don't need to use a mirror for the back , just go by feel. Also skip a day or 2 between shaves give the skin a chance to heal.
