Thread: Round 4 I think

I've gotten to the point where I don't bleed. The fat part of my cheeks are smooth, but my jaw bone is real rough. I've tried shaving with and against the grain. Any thoughts as to why I can't get a smooth shave on my jaw bone?

After shaving my cheeks I will stretch them upwards pulling the skin along the jawbone up as well. then I will shave that area while it is off the jawline. Hope this helps.

+1 on stretching the skin, this was what made me get a smooth jawline.

Not sure I can really visual your problem but, the jawline would need an ever changing series of angles if your thinking of it as wtg or atg.

What I do is contort my hand such that the blade is running the length of my jaw bone and thus I fixed all my jaw bone area challenges in one fell swoop.

It is easier said then done though.

It might have to do with the direction of the grain of your beard at and below the jawline.

Some people, like me, have a beard that runs north to south above the jaw but west to east below the jaw. If the grain is doing something crazy in your problems areas, you're likely to have trouble getting BBS there.

yea some guys cut themselves so much when they're learning they don't have any blood left so they don't bleed.
