(God I hope this is in the proper forum) I have recently bought an electric razor, a Remington MicroScreen2, and while this is my first experience with an electric razor, I can’t get my neck shaved properly. My cheeks (get yer mind outta the gutter) turn out just fine, but the throat area just doesn’t get shaved, no matter how long I go over the area, no matter the angle of the razor, etc. Help, guys? 😕 ---

I always have this problem with electrics. Time occasionally solves it, but I usually wound up doing touchups with a manual, so now I just stick with a manual razor. ---

I have to press too hard with an electric even for my wimpy beard.
