Eventually, you'll figure out a way to get it. I could try to describe what I do to get that area, but it just wouldn't make any sense. It has to do with making very weird faces.
There's no doubt that I can get a closer shave with a safety razor; however, it's now a matter of cost, quality, comfort, and luxury. I used Gillette's Fusion razors and went through 2 blades every morning (one to shave down and left the other to shave up and right. I got 14 blades for $40 and now that's just stupid in comparison to using a straight blade.
