Might be a good sticky maybe for newbies and oldies alike.
I am going to cheat and say two because I can't chose between them, but after nailing basic technique, these two elements have given me 10/10 perfect shaves.
Also really important to remember that these may not work for everyone so take care. Mine in particular are totally contrary to the majority of peoples recommendations but I feel they are totally legitimate and worth a try.
1) For neck shaving, try forgetting about beard direction and go straight north to south, left to right etc. I have so many directions it was getting too complicated and irritated so I tried this on the advice of ichabod (i think, thanks) and it was perfect. No more irritation and much less complicated too!!
2) Once you have mastered slow and steady, try a quicker stroke, sort of swiping (not slashing, don't want any nicks!) at the area. Keeping the strokes really short I am finding this technique perfect because it's almost impossible to apply pressure because the blade is not on your face for even a second and also the strokes are so short that once the angle is ready and you 'swipe' the angle cannot change. So you are left with a stroke which had no pressure and perfect angle. Again, take care but do give it a try.
hair conditioner( i use Dove) on ur face as soon as u jump into the shower and leave it on till the end, wash ur face last, so ur stubble has a chance to become soft. this is something i do everyday without fail
