    Default ATG toward the jugular

    Well i have been shaving my whole face for a little over a month. I have one spot that is pretty tricky even when I was using a gillette. I do a wtg pass, and atg in both directions for my cheeks,chin and stache(sometimes another pass on the stache). my neck however right by the jugular is hard. Not because its my jugular but simply the angle. I have a pretty defined chin with slender neck so its almost as if the heel and toe run into the chin and throat without getting all of the skin. I can pull and stretch most of it into range but unsure of another technique? I dont have a problem WTG but it seems to be the only angle I can achieve with my neck. I can go ATG on the sides of my neck but havent been successful near the jugular area of the neck

    Using a diagonal path gets the hollow area in the upper corner for me. I find ending the strokes in the valley of the trachea and doing the whole vertical path (column), and then doing the next column starting the stroke on the other side of the valley is easier than making the turn at the bottom of the valley.
