Result: 2.2/5.0 Remind me why I try to do an ATG pass with a Feather ACD-N razor again? It's great for the jaw line. Fixes that bad spot nicely. It's fine for under the chin. It's fine on the cheeks but, the neck? Forget it. What a weeping mess. Four, count them four weepers. I had to break out the alum block but no styptic and saved the shave. Actually, except for the weepers, the shave was great. So, as I sit here and enjoy my BBS shave minus a layer of skin in some spots, I'll try and remember then next time I'm tempted to do that.
