Hi all,
I’d appreciate some advice from members.
I’ve been shaving for close to 15 years with straight razors but wanted something to replace cartridges which I use when I travel.
I’m about 10 shaves in with an r89 but I’m so far unable to get a close shave. Patches of stubble around my cheek are occasional errors I put down to incorrect angle which I’ll fix with practice.
More of concern is around my neck - just can’t seem to get at the stubble there. I have a a very bony jawline and scrawny neck so lots of contours there. Multiple passes haven’t helped (just one does it with the straight).
I’m wondering if a more aggressive razor would help?
What do members think?
David
