Do you lift your chin high and stretch the skin for under the neck area?....this helps...don't stretch too tightly though...you'll soon get it right....
I think you'll find the heavier Vintage Gillettes better too...so you can just use the weight of the razor ..rather than pressing on.....Though having said that I'm not familiar with the Boots razor at all....though I suspect its a light weight.
I've no experience of Pre-shave oil...I just lather up after a hot water soaked Flannel applied to the face for 20 seconds or so...Then leave the soap for the length of time it takes to put the blade in the razor....(I remove the blade and carefully wash and dry the razor after every shave).....But thats just me......maybe I'm a nut.
After shaving and rinsing off I apply Witch Hazel...used in an aftershave splash fashion..and allow it to dry..whilst I wash everything up...Razor/Brush/Bowl etc.....................Then apply Nivea Sensitive Balm..
But we all have our own different RITUALS.....This works for me.
