Hey all! I hope you are doing well.
I hope this is the right place to come for help, I believe it will be.
I am trying to finalize my decision on what single edge razor to get exclusively for neck shaving. I have a beard and have not shaved my face since I was 14 (I am 30 now). I keep my beard maintained and like to clean up the neck line to get that sharp appearance. I use a shavette to define my cheek lines
Currently, I only have 1 double edge razor but I am not really enjoying it and I feel I would very much like a single edge. To give context, I don't like the double edge cause I can't seem to get the right angle, I always forget to switch to the other side, and I nick myself quite often. I could go for another double edge or try new blades, but I have my mind set on going the single edge route. I usually only trimmed my neck up until about a month ago, but decided I like the clean shaven look way more.
Now, I have done my research, but because I have never used a single edge before, and I would like to know your thoughts and opinions before purchasing.
I have narrowed down my choices to:
Any thoughts/opinions/advice? Thank you so much in advance, I look forward to hearing from you!

I have narrowed down my choices to:
- Razorock ECO (a SE that uses half DE blades and is categorized as low end 'medium-aggressive') @ $41 CAD
- Razorock Black Hawk v2 (a SE that uses AC blades and is categorized as 'mild-medium-aggressive) @ $41 CAD
- Razorock Hawk 'A' Stainless Steel v3 (a SE that uses AC blades and is categorized as 'aggressive', and is the most aggressive of 3 different types in this style; 'standard' is medium-aggressive, and 'open comb' is top end of medium-aggressive'). In fact, I am open to any of these depending is one is suited better for neck shaving. @ $92 CAD
- Leaf Twig (a SE that uses half DE blades, unsure of the aggressiveness, however I do know they also have a thorn which is more aggressive) @ $80 CAD
