    I just do a LOT of stretching up. Until my jawline skin is on my cheek.

    I tried shaving the jawline without stretching once and it wasn't a good idea for me!

    I come perpendicular and then go right along the jawline.

    I use three strokes.

    1st pass N->S, pulling skin up over jawline
    2nd pass stretch it up to the side of the jaw, shave from ear to chin
    3rd pass S->N stretching down with a scything stroke against the grain direction and then on up the cheek.

    I get great results this way on 2 days growth and usually not quite as good on one days growth.

    First I go from the chin to the earlobe, but moving diagonally so I start at the corner of my mouth, and I end underneath my jawline.

    Then I go slowly from my earlobe to my chin in 1 fluid motion, but I keep the razor perfectly flat against the chin. This will cut the whiskers without me feeling it.
    I need to do this only once, and my jawlines are BBS. The trick is to keep the razor flat to the skin.

    This also works very well for the ATG pass on my throat.
