Thread: Shaving Around A Goatee?

I do the inside by resting the end of the blade on the tip of my nose and carefully rotating the blade in towards the soul patch. Sounds kinda risky, and it is, use water as lather and BE CAREFUL!
Another way I use mainly to do the corners of my mouth in the inside is folding the razor completely on it's back and working with it that way.

Shave oil or water has to be used for proper beard trimming, otherwise it's impossible to see what you're doing, just go slow, cutting one hair at the time and you'll be alright.

Get yourself one of these little babies.



The cutting blade is only 2" and 5/8" wide and only 8" overall. Cuts around things like a scalpel.

I find that just using the very tip of the blade gets in there pretty good. I do first the inside edges of the outside, and then do the outside edges of that inner stripe. I have to pull the hair slightly to each side when I do it so I can get a straight line. I can do it with the round point, but the spike point works much better. If my beard hair has gotten a little long, I might clip the ends of the hair with the blade just by doing it this way, but I guess that' a reminder that it needs a trim anyway.

Being right handed, it's fairly comfortable to hold the blade with the tip pointed toward my right ear, but when I turn it to face the other way, I have to use a very different grip to be comfortable at all. I sink the handle all the way up to the web between my middle and ring fingers, and hold my index finger completely straight with the blade angled so that the pad of my finger is on the back of the blade just beyond the tang serrations. The tip of my thumb just touches the heel of the blade.

I hope that comes across making some kind of sense because I have no pics to post.
