I have been reading these forums for some time and decided to plunge into DE shaving. Followed a lot of reviews and advice on here and watched mantic59 videos.
I am using a Wilkinson Sword razor which came with 5 blades and the Body Shop Macca root shave cream.
I have done around 3 passes on each shave but still there is some irritation in the neck area. Could it be because I am using a cheap razor or the blades don't suit me? I am willing to experiment and would like to buy the Lord L6 razor (new type) or Edwin Jagger DE89. The EJ is available on Amazon but I cannot see the Lord razor sold cheaply in the UK.
Perhaps one of you members would like to advice on what is the best option. It would be nice to try out the Lord razor before I buy it.
Thanks to all in advance.
Regards

Neck area is tricky for some, stick to WTG passes and a light touch even if it leaves you a little less close than usual the aim for now is irritation free, the closeness will come later.
