Lower pressure and shallower angle. Sounds like you may be scraping (steep angle) instead of shaving (shallow angle).
Just so you know I find wilkinsonsword blades to be terrible. Astra superior platinums are a sweet combination of Sharp and smooth. If you are shaving against the grain on the neck, stop. Go with, or across very lightly if you need to get a bit closer. I learned long ago with carts that chasing a baby butt smooth skin is not not not for me. When I learned to get an acceptable shave, my face thanked me.... I always have a bit of stubble on my lower neck, but I don't care. Good luck! And don't give up! DE is king!

I hear ya, Jason. And I'm through with cartridges too. Long ago I learned that if I wanted an absolutely perfectly baby butt smooth shave, even on the neck, the easiest way to do it is to skip shaving a couple of days, until I have significant stubble. Somehow, it's easier to shave off cleanly then. But that's only for the last 2 percent, and I get a very smooth shave without doing that, so I seldom bother.Just so you know I find wilkinsonsword blades to be terrible.
