I'm a couple of months into straight shaving (twice a week) and I'm getting good shaves now however there is a patch below jaw line which grows in a swirl on each side of my throat. With a DE I do some diagonal passes then horizontal from out side to in to get it smooth. That along with J hooking and blade buffing.

However I can't get my hands and neck into a position to make a horizontal pass and I don't think attempting J-hooking or blade buffing with a straight is wise. One thing which catches part of the area is pulling the skin up as high as possible which gets part of it onto the jaw line, where I can do a horizontal pass, but it still leaves a portion below which I cant reach.

Any advice? I've pretty much sorted out what works for the rest of my face its just this last remaining bit which is frustrating me.
