Certain grind better for crazy facial hair growth patterns?
Hey guys. I have been using a 9/16 full hollow, and a 6/8's 3/4 hollow, but I have some crazy patterns on my neck... E-->W, that slowly moves WSW, then SW, but where meets adams apple area the hair grows NNW into that other pattern making WTG almost impossible. Also I have problems getting close shave on the chin lower lip area with the full hollow. I have worked on angles, but the blade refuses to cut some of the whiskers. I have this problem to with the 3/4 hollow, but not as bad. I have done a semi dry run (using a little soap, and mostly water) in order to make sure I am contacting the whiskers.. Both blades catch them, and then simply don't cut them no matter the angle. Both blades are shave ready, recently got them back from being honed by a well known honemeister off this site. I definitely get an all around better shave from the heavier 6/8 3/4 hollow blade. Would moving up to something else like a 1/4 hollow work better? With the 9/16 I have to pull the blade to get it to cut otherwise the whiskers just stop the blade. While the 3/4 hollow 6/8s takes less pulling, but does not shave on its own. Thanks for your input.
