Checking in for the first time- Newbie from Cleveland

Great Lakes is good but you should do a beer run in the area. There are several breweries basically in the same street, I like Nano Brew the best right now!

 

Welcome to TSD, I hope you enjoy your stay!

 

Welcome to TSD!

 

Greetings sir and welcome to The Shave Den. Fret not about your neck, many man find the neck a troublesome spot. As others have mentioned you could try a pre-shave product. By the way are the nicks an issue of going ATG or XTG? If so you could try just going WTG, A good number of us men can only go WTG, myself included. It is better to look presentable than have razor bumps.

 

Welcome aboard and enjoy your stay!

 

The first time I tried to shave I butchered my neck when I went against the grain. I think at that time it was mostly due to a poor shaving angle. Since then I have been focusing on my angle and technique. Above my jaw line I am doing 3 passes (with, cross, against) and only 2 neck passes (both with). I will still nick my neck a little but nothing like I did before. I hope once I get more comfortable with the razor that I can try different passes on my neck.

 

Welcome!

 

Belated greetings from a lurker, a relative newbie, and another Clevelander! I'm on the west side in Rocky River.

 

Welcome from one newbie to another. There's also a good brewery right next to the West Side Market called Market Garden Brewery they have great beer garden outside. Great IPA's.

 

Welcome from your southern neighbor in Youngstown!

 

Welcome to the den, my favourite pre and post shave product is Trumpers skin food.

 

Hi, welcome!

The Proraso pre-shave is one of my favourites, and the Proraso liquid after shave balm is good as well, with the benefit of being readily available.

 

Greetings and. to the SHAVE DEN. It's a. place!
