2nd shavette shave

I had my 2nd go with the Bluebeard's shavette last night. I used the same prep as last time: shower/soap/shave oil, although I used Proraso green soap this time instead of Bluebeard's cream. Blade was a Gillette Silver Blue. Shave was two passes, WTG/ATG on the face, ATG/WTG on the neck, with touchups around the chin.

Overall I'm very happy with the outcome, no nicks or weepers. Face is really smooth, even the morning after. I think I need to work on my neck technique a little, as the first pass ATG (south to north) was just fine, but the WTG felt a little rough, like it wasn't really cutting, just tugging the skin. Next time I'm going to try ATG (south to north) followed by an ATG/XTG type of pass, as I think that will work better.

I find this to be a really satisfying way to shave, even more so than the DE, and so would love to get it cracked. Any advice is very welcome.

Sounds good so far. As far as the neck tugging you may find that the hair at the base of the neck may be growing at a different angle than elsewhere. If this is the case then you might have to update your grain directions. So far I've had good luck w/ WTG (X2 passes), AGT (X1 pass), and touch-ups.

I'd watch your angles. Something to keep in mind with a straight and is rather important to the shave quality.

I like a higher angle with a shavette than a traditional straight myself.

Sounds like you are off to a great start. +1 on the advise above about beard growth on the neck.
