My most problematics area is that the hair below my jawbone grows toward the right ... all the way from the left ear to the right ear. Farther down my neck, it turns to the downward vertical.

I have a beard along the jawbone, just to complicate things a bit. Going North-to-South doesn't get 'em, going South-to-North doesn't get 'em ... going at angles doesn't get 'em.

"Vertical blade" results in what looks like a botched suicide attempt. So far, no amount of stretching or funny -face-making seems to help.

My solution in the interim: Do my face with a straight, redo (pass three) the lateral neck-fur with a DE. It's also small enough to get into the hollows below the angles of my jaw-ear space.

I'll work on the straight blade technique once I re-generate another quart or two of blood ...
