Patience. I have been at it like 5-6 months and still struggle with the jawline. I pick my fights with it in spurts. I will conquer it for BBS at least once in my life. Jump up and Down while lip synching "We Are The Cahmpions" by Queen into my Dovo Imaginary Microphone. Quit while I am ahead lol. I use my hands somewhat randomly these days, at first my left liked to get shaky here and there, specially if it was a new angle or area. Now I just kind of go with the flow, though my right does do most of the work, I will more than happily try out a new angle on the jawline with my left hand on the right side of my jaw. WARNING you know your face better than mine, dont try that if you are not comfortable with what the results can be. Since you dont seem to be subject to razor burn, you might try rubbing the lather with wet fingers, and kinda clean an area of cream, and as close as safely possible to the mirror give it a shave while you can see the whiskers coming off. that helped me determine that area under the chin loves an XTG scrape more than anything, and the thick spot just outside the main lip chin area, has hair that comes out in many angles. So for a good ATG I have to pass over it a few directions. WARNING

I figured that was my cue I needed to take a break and slow down. So I did a little cheek cleanup and touched up my neck with my cart. That made me feel a little dirty inside...

I don't know if I will shave at all tomorrow. I am going to review my stripping techniques and my blade angles. I think I may be using too short of strokes. I also need to review how to better shave my jawline. I still feel like my angles are a bit awkward while shaving my neck. Thankfully I haven't been experiencing razor burn. It still is a struggle finding a good angle to shave around my goatee but my upper lip is much easier.
Does anyone use their right hand to shave the left side of their neck or vice versa? I feel like it might be easier but more prone to cuts.
