Getting BBS on the Jaw-Line

[thebigspendur]

On my left side I can go right along the jaw line from ear to mouth with the razor and that works. On my right side that doesn't and I have to stretch really hard and go from to of the jaw down and under to accomplish the same thing and that's with using both hands for shaving.

+ 1 to the skin stretching, I hold the razor really lightly in my thumb and forefinger (so that it swings as I move my arm). I find this very light hold works well for me, for if I tend to dig in against a hair, the razor will move in my hand; not continue forward, for long enough for me to say "Oh, shit!" and try again with more concentration. I do just a WTG and a ATG most times, and skip the XTG.

I find I can't really do a ATG on the point of my chin; but I'm growing my goatee back anyway, so that doesn't matter..

You can see I'm not stretching the skin here...



Because the other hand's holding the camera... :-)

+1 to the skin stretch, sometimes it's all you can do. I know my neck has gotten a bit more elastic especially after the constant stretching in this regard. But sometimes its as simple as learning the contour of your hair, like Ryan had said. It is most often a XTG pass, and sometimes that's all you need. I know I have for the most part re-iterated what's been said, but experimentation, stretching and observing will solve your problem every time.
