Thread: Advice for getting started on my chin/under bottom lip...

Less angle helps make things smoother while you are reducing the beard.

Also, quick but very short strokes helps. Move the blade back and forth without losing contact with the skin and moving a little more forward with each stroke. Only have the blade about one spine width away from your skin on the first pass. Moving very slow can increase the pulling.

Lastly, stretching the skin is important to reduce the chance of a cut and to make the hair stand up.
