Thread: Hone and that one spot I can't quite get

So I've attempted tons of different ways (with grain, against the grain, and most angles in between) to go after that particular part of my chin. Finally noticed that what's happening is that my razor is just knocking over the hairs (then they just pop back up) instead of actually cutting them a decent part of the time.

So clearly I'm doing something very wrong or my razor is much duller than I thought. This was after trying to hone for the first time today. But doubt that was the cause as I'm pretty sure this has been happening for a while and I just didn't notice it.

That is the most difficult part of ones face to get smooth, on my face in that area the hairs come out almost horizontal to the skin and it's very hard to get perfectly smooth. It does sound like a sharpness issue also. What are you honing with?
