Post Shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry
AA Day 17! Okay. I think I did it again. Not quite as perfect as my shave on Saturday, but damn close (95%). Commenting my shave in detail so I don’t forget:
3 passes plus some cleanup near my jawbone joint
shave pattern
left side: top-down pattern, 1 razor width
right side: top down pattern, 2 razor width
bottom: left to right pattern, 1 razor width
rest of neck: diagonal pattern, ~45°, left to right.
first pass WTG at setting 7
second pass XTH at setting 6
third pass ATG at setting 4
cleanup pass as necessary at setting 1
what I believe to be the real key for me: making sure my neck skin is taught by leaning my neck forward and pulling down on my chest. I believe the second part to be the main missing key for me.
This left me with an irritation free shave and a beautifully smooth neck. A great feeling.
