I've recently purchased a Braun Series 9 razor and while overall I like it, I am having a problem with it leaving straggler hairs after several passes, especially on my neck. I'm not talking about the closeness of the shave - these are hairs that are visibly longer than surrounding ones and should be getting shaved off. This is mainly a problem when I haven't shaved for a few days (but to be clear the hair is not super thick).
I have tried changing the angle of shaving, leaving it in locked mode vs allowing it to swivel, shaving left, right, up or down, pulling the skin tighter, and varying the pressure, but none of these have eliminated the problem. It's like no matter how many times I go over some of these leftover hairs, they just don't get caught in the blade.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience and has tips. Also wondering if people have found that shaving with this razor takes longer or shorter than a safety razor or cartridge razor - for me it's taking significantly longer because of all the passes I have to do to try and get these leftover hairs.
