Like you said ... not the end of the world.

Keep after it and it will improve.

Do map your face again... you might learn
something you missed last time.

I have some patches that grow low, almost
horizontal. If I worry them to much I get a rash.
If I shave them close I can still rub them 20
min after shaving and get a scratchy patch.

For me the best shave strokes on these patches
are not WTG or XTG but diagonal to the grain
about 50 degrees from WTG for max comfort
and a good shave.

It also helps me to scrub with a wash cloth
prior to the shave.
