Thread: How to Shave These Areas?!

Don't laugh too hard at this ugly mug, but how the heck does a guy shave the areas in these pictures? And make the curve around and down the jawline to the neck? Dang, I struggled quite a bit tonight and was only able to get most of my cheeks and a little on my neck below my chin. Is it just a matter of getting used to holding and maneuvering the razor properly? This was my first attempt at a straight shave after all, I'm definitely no expert and know this process takes a good little while to really get the hang of it. For a beginner, would it be easier to start with less than two days' worth of stubble? Would this be easier if I were clean shaven and not trying to work around the handlebars?

And yes, I learned that the toe will bite pretty easily if you're not careful!
