Well I managed to go ATG again on my upper lip and chin, but I didn't want to risk my success on the cheeks. I think what I'll do is get proficient on what I can do now, then when I feel ready, move on to the cheeks. I find it odd that the cheeks are giving me the most issues...

Anyway, my razor easily plowed down three day's growth, and on my ATG pass it wasn't pulling once I got the angle. At least I know my razor is sharp.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I think in a month or two I should be able to go ATG on my whole face.
