Any advice for perfecting the jawline, adams apple, or the go-tee? No matter how many nicks I get I'm really enjoying this. Thanks again guys.

The best hint is to find a systematic that gets a good to go first pass.
For me the first pass if done correctly leaves the edge sharp for any
minor touch up. If I get angles wrong I have to strop the edge or
grab a second razor.

4th shave in and I'm getting the hang of my SR. I just got the smoothest shave ever today and too smooth of a shave in a couple spots. Finally figured out what technique will work for me. And I found that WTG, XTG, and ATG pretty much has me covered. I just hope if I'm ever running late for work and still need to shave that my employer will understand my reasoning... lol Thanks for everyone's help. I can't wait to pass along what I have and continue to learn. :0)
