Shaving

An ancient mystery no doubt. How about the fuckers right under your cheek/jaw line? I can never get the razor angle perfect enough to get a smooth feel there.

Practice curling your razor around there in short strokes. Of course, attacking from all directions helps.

related question, why is it always harder and more painful to shave the hairs on the front of my chin then the hairs on the side/bottom of my cheek?

I tried growing a beard so I wouldn't have to shave, but hey, I like sex and it made obtaining said sex too difficult.

i have the same problem w/ the bottom jaw ones. i use a razor + generic cream, would going electric help with this maybe?

Yeah, that's what I wind up doing. It takes me longer to do those spots than the rest of the face combined. I was considering a move to electric, but heard that it would take LONGER. Anyone wanna prove/disprove this myth?

right below jaw line.... this is how u do it...

1.) shave above jawline in the normal downward stroke.
2.) then PULL the skil form below the jaw line UP to above the jaw line, and hold it. You pull by using you left hand's 4 fingers (not thumb) on your right side in an underhand manner. So, the thumb on your left hand is pointing at your right ear.
3.) look in the mirror, and carefully shave (with your right hand) the new "above jawline" area... release and it should be very very smooth, like above jawline. Come back and write an OOT trip report. I know people say not to pull your skin while shaving, but this beats having a bunch of cuts down there....

I tried a decent electric razor for a while. It was a short while, it was just never even close to being as good a shave.

If you consistently cut yourself trying to get those spots, you're doing something wrong.
Also, pulling does work, but it can really screw with your skin if you do it too often.
