Ha, you an the picture just described a fairly small portion of my right cheek just past my chin; the whiskers there lay so utterly flat against my cheek that no amount of prep or scrubbing with a lathered brush even come close to lifting them anywhere. To top it off, they grow horizontally toward my right ear. The only way I can get a smooth shave there is very carefully go ATG toward my chin. Even the sharpest razor resists there.

With a feather light touch and very short well lubricated strokes I can get the area almost BBS; Micro-stubble is still viewable in that area no matter what.

Here's my point; with a multi blade cartridge razor or an electric, getting the same closeness in that area results in hamburger like carnage and ingrown hair disaster. Another reason straights are superior to any other shaving method for my face.
