Hello. I am still getting used to the straight razor technique but so far its been going okay. Two questions. I've done a WTG pass before and a ATG pass. A little razor burn but nothing too bad. I just can't seem to wrap my head around how I can do a XTG pass on my neck. I just can't wrap my head around the technique. It seems like an easy way to cut my throat. Could I have some guidance with this?
Second question. Due to my boar brush turning my face red, probably due to the roughness, I have been using barbasol. I've noticed that when I shave I can feel the hairs being cut. Almost like some very light tugging. Only when I shave my neck. I'm not sure if this is because of the barbasol or my technique or the razor. The razor seems to pass all the usual shave ready tests and I'm always careful when I strop. Will using a proper shave soap w/ a synthetic brush mitigate this at all?
