Thread: How to shave ATG under the chin / throat area when the grain grows to the side?

My beard grain left to right so I have to shave right to left for atg. I used to Shave the entire face and jawline, dry it and use the dry skin to pull. Practice on a dry face and see which way pulls it up as you can stretch the wrong way which would pull the stubble flatter.

Gotta give this a try tonight!

I've had this trouble spot under my right jaw line - down about 1.5 inches center of the jawline on my neck for a while. I don't have a problem with the left side, same spot, at all - BBS every time. Just can't seem to get the angle right to go ATG on the right side with my left hand. Using my right hand with this grip, solved the problem. Not 100% BBS but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Thanks OCDshaver!

aalbina,

Glad to hear it. This is a common problem and this grip seems to help some guys clear that area. I've been doing it for a quite a while and it still works for me every time. Keep working with it and I think you'll see that it can be the answer for you too. Cheers.
