Man, the grain on my neck is most annoying. Like qhsdoitall, it goes everywhere and I have the choice of trying to get rid of it (and get varying degrees of irritation) or live with a less than BBS shave.

Today, of course, I had a new open comb to try out, so I tried to get rid of it. :: Not too much irritation, mostly at the alum block stage.

Good shave....Really quick too....i was suprised how easy it was to shave with a Duel Edge coming from shaving with a straight. Might as well been my Mach 3. Minor skin irritation, probably due to first shave ever/angle and what not. I would definately pick this habit up. So much easier than a straight shave, but then again....its not a straight shave
