    I finesse the edge with my ATG stroke, where I can see better

    The result you are looking for might depend on the length of the hair on your sideburns. I can get one side of my face using my right hand without any problems. I keep my hair fairly short and I can usually get away with trimming the other side with an xtg stroke. I bet if I started using my other hand this problem would fix itself.

    For a while I had no problem seeing where the razor and my sideburns lined up on the right side of my face, but couldn't on my left. I can see it on both sides now by just angling my head. It took a lot of practice and it honestly felt very awkward trying to properly see my face while shaving my left side (I'm right handed BTW), but with practice everything becomes easier!

    I finally figured it out last night. Instead of looking above the blade I look below it... if that makes sense. Thanks everyone!
