    I am a right handed shaver. In order to get some spots, I have to use the contortion method. Left side burn is not a down stroke but the ear is pulled back and a pass is made from the ear junction out toward the eye. It works well and leaves a very straight clean line. The chin takes an additional pass as it is an awkward spot. My problem mostly stems from my poor eye sight. Putting on my glasses to find out that I have a few renegade whiskers by my right ear or directly under my nose, seems to be my fate.

    And just to piggyback on the above post, I think trying a heavier blade might be good too. The least it does is give you a good reason to buy a new razor. I used to shave with a full hollow Geneva, and then switched to a pair of Thiers Issard blades from AOS. I have totally fallen in love with my old Joe Eliott that Outback worked on. Heavier blade and sharp as can be. I enjoy it way better than the finer blades.
