Yes, stubborn-ness (a new werd I just made up) can turn a perfectly fine neck into hamburger! My own neck is becoming more like the skin on the neck of a plucked chicken as I age!I got mine sat. I've been extremely busy and haven't had a chance to use them. I'm nursing bad razor burn right now. Give me just a few days and I'll give'em a try. My stubborn *** decided to keep shaving with a straight that needs to be touched up. It felt like shaving with sandpaper. but I'm too stubborn to stop using it. So once the hamburger that is my neck heals I will use the blades.
