Help with my chin and other areas
I've been shaving with a straight for about a month now and am able to get BBS on my cheeks and most of my neck. There are some problem areas though that are still giving me trouble. Namely my chin (where I end up getting nicked most often), the corners of my mustache area near my lips and the two sides of my throat near my adams apple.
The mustache area always leaves whiskers at the edges near my lips and I usually try to do a WTG and two different XTG to get it, but can't quite ever get it smooth.
Chin is just a problem. I try to curl my bottom lip over my teeth and stretch the skin for the top of my chin and then for the underside I stretch the skin near my neck to try and get the bottom of my chin. Regardless of when I do my ATG strokes, I still leave some stumble.
Next areas are around my throat. I don't have a lot of body fat so I have two very concave areas on each side of the adams apple. It seems that no matter which way I stretch my skin and try to shave over it, I leave spots of lather (and stumble) as the blades just goes over the area leaving the concave areas untouched.
Just trying to get the hang of these areas as the rest of my shaving areas go quite well. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
