I've just cleared by first dozen SR shaves and continue to move up the learning curve, after a few of decades of electric razor shaving. I'm still struggling with shaving above my top lip and my chin area. The rest of of the face including the neck and jawline go pretty smoothly. During the last couple of times, I've even done 3 pass shaves, including ATG without too much trouble on the rest of my face, but those two trouble spots continue to haunt me.

I'm sure that a lot of the problem is my beginner's technique, but I can't help but feel that my skin and beard are going to need some time to adjust to wet shaving after 30 years of electric shaving. Is this true, or is this just wishful thinking on my part?
