Thread: Shaved off moustache, have issues with upper lip.

I have extra coarse wiskers on my upper lip, and chin areas.

For my upper lip, I use an ATG (S-N) stroke - BUT the razor has to be super sharp. ALSO, I have to make a XTG stroke first. After the XTG stroke, the lip feels 90% as smooth - but still looks a bit stubbly (maybe it's big pores / thick wiskers ???)

Also, it took me 3-4 months of daily shaves before I had the skill to to ATG on the lip without the razor just getting "stuck" &/or causing rash-like irritation &/or weepers at the corners of the mouth.

So for now, I'd recommend sticking with WTG until it looks as good as an electric shave (ie: all short stubble, with no wiskers twice as long as other stubble). Then spend another month perfecting the XTG technique.

Here's the best video of the XTG technique on the upper lip I've found:
