    If i'm trying to really get the UL clean, I'll "overstretch" it with my tongue and use WTG/XTG very very lightly. Otherwise it's all WTG/XTG.

    I used to have a problem with the upper lip area as well, especially when using a DE shavette I sliced my face to pieces. I'm using true SR's for about a year now and the lip area doesn't give me any trouble anymore. What I do is indeed stretching the skin realy light pressure and when the razor skips I pick it up, put it back a cm or so and go at it again, basicly using a lot of realy short and light strokes

    I guess I'm lucky to get a BBS upper lip just doing one wtg an two xtg passes. I have far more trouble with my neck, even when I go atg. I rarely get BBS on my neck yet.

    My trouble spot has always been an area about the size of a match book on the left side of my adams apple.
    One of those swirly areas.
    My best results come by using my extended thumb and forefinger to "pin and stretch" the area, and shaving in between my fingers in a buffing pattern.
    Got the idea watching a video of a Japanese barber shaving a client with a Kamisori. And I first tried it when I was trying to learn how to shave with a Kamisori style asymmetrical blade.

    Moved that technique over to my daily shave with great results.
    I was pulling the skin in the wrong direction, making the hair lay flat instead of stand up.
    You just have to mind that finger that is in the path of your razor...baby.
