    Please pardon if this has been discussed ad infinitum. You may simply direct me to the link, however my search showed no direct thread.

    So, I wonder what are your tough spots, and how do you deal with them?
    My neck is a hard spot for me right now. The hair tends to grow in different directions so I am trying different angles to get the best shave I can. I have also noticed that if I do more than 3 passes on my neck I have to Wait a few days before trying again so I am limited on how much I can experiment.


    The corners of my mouth seemed to be a difficult spot for me till I figured out how to place the blade below my nose and carefully go down, yea I am new to this.

    After figuring that out I started using the heel and shaved cross handed, left hand to shave the right side and right hand to shave the left side.

    Now I just go at an angle and it seems to get the corners pretty good, as long as I don't put too much of the blade over my mouth. It is a small area for error but it is getting easier to do.
