    I had/have the same challenges. From a professional shaver in a barbershop I got the tip to practice left & right hands on your legs in different angles. And as I'm also a roadrace biker that's what I have been doing the past 2 weeks: smooth and silky. My shaving skills have improved and I can do a proper AtG shave on my neck and cheecks. The chin and upperlip is still not working out without cuts though. The thing that also helps is that I do some stropping before each shave.

    Keep us posted on your developments.
