Keep at it and you'll get there. I find going ATG easy to do on my neck. Of course I wasn't saying that until shave #56.

Good call. If the razor doesn't want to do it, don't. Find another angle or approach that is comfortable or back away.
Tonight's shave was with an old reliable blade. I had a buttery smooth 2 pass shave, that left me smooooth all over. Fantastic razor. Razor- "Gong Razor" By ERN. Extra Hollow Ground. Brush- B400 By Tom. Soap- Stirling Ozark Mountain Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice
Today's shave was with a H. Boker Damascus magnetic steel 3/4 Linea Intenso sandalwood Jr 175 brush Nivea post shave sensitive balm The Boker had come off the hones last night, feels like it could use a little more polishing of the bevel, it was pulling slightly. So I guess back to the hones tomorrow.
