Thread: Need Help with unsmooth Chin

I've been using a DE for years. (I should say over a number of years so someone doesn't think it takes years for me to complete a shave).

After a very botched SR attempt, I decided to start with a Shavette and then switch once I mastered (more or less) the Shavette.

I'm using a Dreadnought Shavette. (A 6/8 Dovo is waiting in the wings). I've shaved close to ten times with it and have become pretty good (i.e., not too many divots) and have avoided the chin until now. I have a mustache, so no need to worry about under the lip, but I have a chin that seems to be a cross between a golf ball in smoothness and the surface of the moon. (Tis but a small shave for man but....).

This AM was my first attempt at that territory and I cut myself twice before reverting to the DE. (You think I look bad, you should see the other guy!).

Somehow, I manage to shave that with a DE with no problem. So, in theory, I should be able to do the same with the Shavette. Why isn't it working?

Anyone whose licked a similar problem chin have some tips on how to shave that area without coming out looking like Frankenstein's monster?

TIA,
Paul
