I'm still perplexed with what angle is "XTG" on my neck. It seems to be different on each side and also varies by day. I tried to get it down on paper over the past few shaves and looks like I've drawn a weather map...I've got the jet stream coming in under my chin and two colliding fronts under each cheek.
What did you learn from your last shave?

I'm glad it's not just me. I have an area on my right cheeks which seems to be gradually growing more sideways instead of just top to bottom like it used to. A south to north pass used to be ATG in that area, but I'm now having to finish that area with a few ear to nose strokes too.
I was ending my weekend .. think I will stick to the EJ for now .. lesser to no irritation when compared to futur or Parker 92/99..

Perhaps a 4 setting on my Slim is a little too aggressive with a nearly new blade. Time to try a 3.
Tried 'negative pressure' with good results today!
When using sharper/aggressive blades, always remember to strop them before 1st use. Your upper lip and jaw line will thank you.
Leave well enough alone with problem areas. Chasing BBS there with multiple passes and more pressure just leads to irritation. When will I learn..........
You can get lather pretty far up the nose if you aren't paying attention.
That I love open comb shavers. Was nervous about trying one for some reason, having the extra lather was actually real helpful

Was that you SpaceX sent up today?
As an aside, that launch & landing was epically cool.
Yes. And YES INDEED!
I laughed way more than I should have.
Yup. Been there
I'll make sure to have more coffee before shaving tomorrow morning before I make this mistake again.
Not sure the synthetic brush I just purchased and put into service is right for me. Maybe I'm not getting it wet enough.
Oh, and giving my face a light day -- 1 pass all around -- is a good idea. Yesterday, after my usual 2 passes on cheeks/3 on neck and throat, my neck felt mildly irritated all morning.

Having a light touch with a Feather blade is rewarding as I got no nicks or cuts and no irritation this morning!
Be especially careful to use NO pressure going ATG!
It doesn't matter how smooth the shave is feeling, NO PRESSURE! And don't over buff somewhere.
First time using a Gillette tech and boy was it smooth, until I overdid it!

A setting of 3 on my Slim Adjustable, and only 2 passes all around, produced a very very fine shave with no irritation.
That my last shave with my Rockwell 6s (R3) and Kai combo was just as good as the one before it
