I just discovered the guillotine stoke!
I've been having some trouble with the sideways neck growth and found out about the guillotine stroke. Supposedly it slices the hair more efficiently. I also found out the hard way tonight exactly how sharp my razors are. I made a nice slice into my chin and had to "cut" my shave short to stop the bleeding. So I went back a little later and tried again for a neck pass. Slowly and carefully I performed the correct guillotine stroke and it actually took out those pesky neck hairs. I think I'll wait a few days for my chin to heal before I shave again.

You're right - it's a great technique! If it weren't for the encouragement from reading about the guillotine stroke from several fellows here on SRP, I probably wouldn't have tried using it. I'm so glad that I did.

Anyone care to help me understand this stroke? Perhaps a video?

Yup! I thought that was called sithing strokes. Basically you impart a slight draw or push to your stroke?
I need to figure a stroke to get the odd-angle-growth hairs in the depressions on either side of my esophagus.
