Hmm,

I must really be doing something wrong. In some places I can't even get the razor to move in the ATG direction. This is on the chin and lower cheek next to the chin. It just hangs up on the whiskers. This was even with a fresh-from-Lynn blade, first shave, no stropping, as recommended. I do use the "slicing" technique when (attempting to) move the razor forward ATG into the beard and it is after both a WTG and XTG pass.

I finish up with a GEM SE ATG after a couple of passes with the straight. THAT part goes well.
