Thanked: 0Day 10: The whole face!
Well guys - I did it!
For the past few days, I've stayed with WTG strokes on the sideburns, cheeks, and neck and was getting confident enough to try the chin and upper lip.
Yesterday, I tried the chin and almost cut my lip - didn't have the angle set correctly so I reset for today.
While the shave is not as smooth as I'd like it, it's still very good and I was able to do my entire face without needing to go over it with the Fusion.
The chin is particularly tough with respect to the roughness of the whiskers, but utilizing short directed strokes, then reapplying lather and going over it again WTG, I was able to get enough off to be satisfied with the first attempt.
I'll be practicing this for a while and then moving on to XTG and ATG strokes in an attempt to get a smoother shave.
Thanks for all the advice here everyone,

Good work man 10 days in, no need to rush as I'm sure you'll have lots of shaving in the future!
The chin was the hardest for me too, will take some practice and muscle memory to master it correctly. Remember though you'll rarely if ever get the perfect shave from one pass, once you get to the stage of wtg, xtg etc. you'll be flying
