The Wilkinson tore up my neck. Nothing too bad but definitely not good. Its probably my technique, but I still didn't get as good a shave as I am used to. I guess I am having trouble understanding the whole attraction to safety/straight razors. Is this like an old man's extreme sport where one wrong move and you get hurt? I'm not giving up on it, but I'm glad my Fusion is still locked and loaded so I can actually get a smooth result.
