    These are the toughest spots for me as well. As I have become more proficient with manipulating the blade, watching the angle, and going in different directions my results have improved. Sometimes changing the direction from which you attack can make the difference. Skin stretching and preparation are all important.

    I usually shave after I shower. I wash my face vigorously twice before I get out and shave. Even if I shave sans shower I wash my face twice in very hot water to soften up the whiskers. I also gave up face lathering and started using a bowl to get more & thicker lather. All of the above have made the jawline and neck less of a problem to get a close and comfortable shave. Same with the tip of my chin which used to give me fits.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    i am really new to this, but one thing i am doing now and seem to have good results is switching hands. kinda scary at first!!! i trip going up stairs, bite my lip when i chew gum and talk..... and so on. basically i am not very coordinated. start out slow and watch how much pressure you use. watch your angle. tough to get used to but easiier for me in the long run. my problem is i am very thin in the face. the middle of my neck sticks out and i have hollows on both sides of it. those are hard to get. pull your skin and relax.
