This has been covered but still having some issues
Hey all!
It is a snowy day here in NJ. So I just got finished with my shave this morning and it's pretty smooth except I am still having an issue against the grain under the chin. I have tried every different angle I can think of to do this. My hair grows from left to right there; I have been shaving with the handle all the way open so that the end of the scale almost touches the spine of the razor, then I hold that and try to make short buffing strokes. Even with this grip it is very hard/awkward. It didn't even do a great job cutting. I had to do a fourth path shaving up, which for me is xtg. That did it but wow it's a freakin pain. It also took me an hour and a half not including all of the prep. I don't know if I should give up doing ATG down there and maybe do three XTG, one down, two up. I don't think it will give me as good of a shave though so any suggestions are welcome. I enjoy the entire shaving process except for that part.
