    On my particular mug decreasing the angle is what I do. If I increase it to the same level as you are I tend to get irritation. My solution to the 'trouble' spots, and by now I know where they are, is to approach at varied angles that I've found effective with the guillotine stroke + skin stretching techniques. Then again, I have to go easy, more than two passes and spot touch-ups and I will have irritation.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I usually find the same going on as Steel & pfries doing all 3 directional passes and touching up with multiple angle changes etc to get the trouble spots, on my neck under jaw area

    It is important to remember that angle and pressure are inter-related. You can shave with a surprisingly high angle as long as the pressure is kept low. This will allow the blade to remove whiskers without removing skin.
