Around the chin

[Katan2212]

Really finding it difficult to get a nice shave around the chin/neck line. Always seems to be a few hairs that just won't go all the way.. I'm guessing it's my angle and I'm sure it will come in time.... Anyone else out there struggling in that area? Any tips?

I have found with my straight that a rapid succession of very short light stroke XTG and ATG get it BBS.
Works for me with no irritation (which should tell you how light the pressure used is)

Stretching with your hand can be a bit difficult. Try facial contortions, and muscle flexing to stand those hairs up. It takes a bit of experimentation to find the right combination but it does work. And of course do not let yourself fall into the trap of more pressure.

I think these must be problem areas for every new shaver - certainly are for me. I'm enjoying trying lots of different positions and strokes - trying something new each day and seeing if I can get one or two more or the tricky bits better. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it hurts! The challenge is part of the fun!

I agree with pfries - very short, very light, choppy XTG and ATG strokes have helped with me, especially under my nose (very satifying to be getting that right now) and I've started to try something similar just under my chin with increasing success.

Same here for the chin I have been getting some luck with really contorting my face and stretching with my other hand. And using very short strokes. Basically what I have been doing for under the nose as well.

The chin area is composed of curves. Short, choppy strokes might work, but I found after about six months that I could adjust the angle, carefully, as I go down over and across the chin from side to side. The angle can be safely changed, sometimes above 30 degrees, but this can only be done if the pressure is kept to an absolute minimum and the skin is carefully stretched.
