Thread: Newbie issues

So I've been using my straight for a week now and have learned a lot. I only get nicks or abrasions from either lack of attention, too much pressure on the blade, or multiple passes. Multiple passes with a safety were my old habit and I guess old habits die hard. But either way I'm getting better, and getting a closer shave every time. Anyway, I'm having chin issues. I cut myself twice today in the process so I'm hoping that someone here has advice.

I'm a pretty slender guy, with a bit of a thin face. My chin isn't a cleft chin, but it definitely has a depression in the middle. I just can't seem to navigate this thing! Either I skip it and do it with my safety or I make the attempt and either abrade part of it or nick my lower lip area. I've attached a picture to see if anyone has any advice on a plan of attack.

Thankyou!
