Thread: I cannot get a razor to shave my chin and mustache

The Chin takes me multiple passes to get it all BBS. I start with WTG and use short strokes and reduce as much as possible. On the next shave, 2nd pass, it gets a few different XTG and ATG passes as I work other areas of my face near the chin. So the chin ends up getting several passes from various angles as I use it as a finishing point for other strokes.

The mustache area gets only two passes WTG and ATG. Careful short strokes work the best. Also knowing the angles to get it right works the best. I always get a mini weeper for doing this one, but cold water closes it up quickly.

I don't have a Pklang, but thought it would be a good shaver for anyone and you can likely sell it or trade it on-line at SRP and go with a stiffer razor such a 1/2 hollow or 1/4 hollow. I have full hollow 7/8 and that one is stiffer than what you would get with a 5/8 full hollow. My 7/8 is also an outstanding shaver and a favorite among those who have it.

Lots of options for you and good luck!

For ATG on the chin, pull your bottom lip inside your mouth, and pull the skin down between your collar bones. I use the edge of my forefinger or the palm of my hand to stretch my neck skin to make the chin taut.

For XTG (depending on direction), use the same technique pulling along the jawline opposite the side you are shaving. Works like a charm.

Sometimes I can get away without using my hands at all, if I turn my head and stick my chin way out, the skin is tight enough without hands.

You'll find yourself making all kinds of stupid faces to get a decent shave, but it's worth it!
