Hi,

New to straight razors, and had a question on going WTG on my neck. The hair grows laterally, from the centerline to the sides on my neck and under the jaw line.

I haven't been able to figure out how to shave that area WTG. Any suggestions? Or do I just skip that. I have been shaving straight down and then straight up, which is XTG. Today (my 5th time), I tried diagonally downward, from center towards the sides, and then did a straight down pass, and a straight up pass. It was the best ion that area so far. Just wondering if I could go WTG at all.

That's been the most challenge so far...figuring out how to do WTG, XTG, and ATG in certain areas. the chin (no surprise) and jaw line are the other two tough spots.

Are there any books, wikis, etc. that show how to do different stroke directions for areas on the face?
