    Thank you for your opinions. I think I know which direction to go.

    Now it's time to pull the trigger which happens to be my wallet.

    Take care!

    Real dog,

    I have a dent in my chin (dimple). I rather not dig it deeper either . The rounded point on the toe of my razor works perfectly to clean out the dent. Good luck!

    Best,

    Ed

    I am glad I am not alone in shaving these things. I ended up buying a rounded point straight from SRD.

    I received it today. I have no idea how to approach the dimple. I am worried about the sideburns as well.

    Time will tell. Thanks for the post Ed.

    Take care,
    Jason

    :Can the cleft be stretched? If so, you have the beginnings of a strategy. I utilize skin stretching for alot of other places, including the side burns.

    Jason,

    Go slow, I found the sideburns far easier than the face dent. Also above the dent I have a transition where my chin goes from round to flat up under my lip. This transition line is frown shaped. One big jump forward for me was holding the blade with both hands to shave that transition ATG up to my lip. Once that worked I was more comfortable experimenting with new grips. I choke up on the grip to take the toe into the dent so the blade is more stable. It is hard to explain but it works well. Good luck. You will get it with time.

    Best,

    Ed
