Thread: What Are The Toughest Places to Shave For You?

The point of my chinny chin chin is tough to get really clean. I''ve had so many little cuts there it looks like I have a striped chin!

My upper lip and my neck area are the easiest to get perfectly smooth.

No doubt for me the toughest area is the chin. The upper lip was hard but has gotten easier. I too have the stripped chin effect.

:lol:

Hmmmm.... For me, the hardest to get close is the right side of my neck.

The most nicks occur on the chin, however.

How do you guys shave underneath the jaw? Down only? Up? Across?

Down normally, then up cross handed.

I tuck my chin down into my chest, and with my free hand I pull the skin taut from just above where I’m going to shave. I find this will pull a significant portion of my jaw line up onto the flat area of my cheek.
Then I trace a line from where my ear and jaw line meet … down to my chin with the razor inverted, so that the tip of the blade is pointed down towards my shoulder and the handle is up in the air.
It sounds a lot more complicated that it is (at least for this lefty) and I’ve found that I can get all of my jaw line plus a little jowl/neck area in the one pass. But, like I mentioned above my beard grows back towards my ear on my neck so that’s still a pain in the you know what.

My first pass is always down...with grain. Cross-handed for each side.

Second pass is across the jawline towrad chin on both sides.

Last pass is up, against the grain, eliminating any stubble fields.

I can usually pull the skin up onto my cheek area, and shave the jaw skin there on my cheeks. The chin jawline is done all three ways....

....and finally gets smooth as a baby's butt!

I will let you know a year from now when I figure it out!

i love randy's answer.

Yes...... Down, up and across. The last part (across ) sometimes not when I am lazy or scared :shock:
