Thread: Having some trouble

The hair on my neck grows mostly E to W, so I feel your pain.

I found that even with a shorty, it's not an easy task to go WTG or ATG, so I tend to do modified XTG... As Eddy mentions, I kind of do a NE to SW stroke and then a SW to NE stroke. I get DFSs out of that technique.

I second the guilotine stroke idea.
I have a few hard to shave spots myself.
With this kind of slicing motion it's usually okay.

You stretch the skin as flat as you can get it , that will take care of the east to west cut, it just takes time , your not even close to having enough shaves to have it worked out, maybe just slow down and work on the one area and don't expect BBS on the trouble area till you learn the different motions and stretching, then it will come together for you , and maybe a truly sharp blade will shave a little closer and smoother. Good luck and read up on the Guilotine cut and stretching. Tc
