The Van Buren area is getting unruly long and that does make it a little difficult. The hairs tend to find themselves on my cheek. I am going to need to get them trimmed up or shaved off, I am still deciding on which. I was hoping the straight razor would make shaping easier, and to a certain extent I do have more control over where the blade starts and stops but when you are trying to get into a curve it gets precarious a bit. The Weck is a little easier to work those curves but with it this picture would have blood spots all along the top of the cheek.
