There is a spot on my neck that seemingly no razor can touch. I never really noticed it before, but as I'm getting smoother and smoother in other areas I'm noticing the isolated rough patches more. I used to have a problem with my beard around my adam's apple, but that's not so much an issue anymore. The problem is right under the curve of my jaw, more or less directly below my ear. The grain of the hair flows at an angle, sloping down basically from my ear toward my adam's apple in the space of approximately 1 inch. It's an awkward angle and I've approached it from every direction I can think of but I just can't get that part smooth. I've even tried J-hooking in various directions with no improvement. Anyone experience this? Anyone have any ideas?
Also, I recently picked up an r41 (eats my neck for breakfast) and a merkur 12c. I was hoping that the 12c being open comb would make it a little more aggressive than my 38c, but it seems like it doesn't cut much of anything. Any tips on this particular razor?
