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

Well if you can do ATG on the chin and upper lip you've got me beat. For the neck I found that grabbing the skin and pulling sideways, towards my ear on the right side of the windpipe, helped get the hollow next to the windpipe. Oddly enough pulling the skin to the right on the left side also was the answer for the hollow on the left side. If your problem areas are in a different area of the neck I would say experiment with stretching by pulling in different directions. That is how I've discovered what will be most effective for me. YMMV.

I use diagonal strokes for my neck.

I've been using this suggestion of Jimmy's, along with going "Polar" (Cold water shaving) with very good results. I still have a problem getting to 100% BBS - small spot on my left jaw and a thumb pad sized patch on the left side of my adams apple.

We all seem to forget sometimes that a DFS straight shave is many times better than a "so called great" Cart POS shave...the evidence being you don't have much of a beard in 24 hours...

There are times when I have to force myself in to "mind like water" and just enjoy how great this is...

And I too check my beard all day long...
