    In the car.........driving to work. Too distracting for a great shave......definitely a very tough spot.

    Neck by far.

    My hair growth is from 3/4 way E>W and a 1/4 W>E

    It's almost impossible to go against the grain due to the sensitivity of the area. Burns like mad as it's not used to ATG. I almost always just go up and down when shaving it. I guess this is hitting it XTG x2.

    If anyone has any solutions, I'm all ears... (or neck) lol

    neck around the adams apple is definitely problematic...

    Ya know, the toughest part for me is my back!

    Ok, barring my back, I guess my adams apple area... I know how to shave it, it's just that my wrists can't quite get the blade oriented for good access without something else getting in the way. The secret for me is to not mind a slight roughness around the adams apple.

    see this thread needs to be more specific...
    The toughest spot on my face is just below my jaw line, the hair runs East west, and I just haven't figured the perfect way to stretch my skin, and shave that without using a little pressure...

    as for the toughest spot to shave, I would have to nominate 3 places on the male body, and none of them are on the face...

    3) the back obviously...
    2) the north bound end of a south bound plumber, Aka: his horizontal smile... They say crack kills, but it would be worse if you have to shave it.

    and the number 1 spot that would be impossible to shave with a straight...

    1) The rocks, the prunes, mountain oysters... Yes they are easier to see, but you would have to be a master at skin stretching, and a little on the dark side to even try.
    Not even Master Yoda is going to try this one, and when Ben Kenobi tells you to use the force, and trust your feelings, you'd better be feeling your way to an escape pod...

    Deffo neck for me. My hair grows in swirls almost parallel to the skin - even the slightest variance from WTG yields ingrowns. Also I have a concave area under my jawbone that requires all sorts of pulling on the skin to get done.

    I'm shocked that the 'chin' was not an option. For me, it is all gravy except for the chin. I don't mean the part just below the lower lip, I mean the lower part of the chin just before it falls into the neck. That spot is a bugger, and I find that if I shave 'too' close I get wicked razor burn... but I don't have that issue anywhere else. Odd, eh?

    I'll say the neck, or more precisely one f*** spot where the chin join the neck below my right cheek... my hair just grows in almost all direction... it is like a twister, a tornado, solar wind whirling around the earth...

    Maybe I can ask Yoda to help, if he is not busy running after Mike_ratliff precious stones...

    Da hairs of my chinny-chin-chin!

    I didn't see it in the ballot, so I'm writing it in here.
