OK, I know this has been discussed, but there are new members joining daily so maybe it wouldn't hurt to revisit the topic. I know I might benefit.
My trouble spots are the common areas: chin, neck (on sides of Adam's Apple), and under the nose.
Under my nose, I've gotten better. I don't go ATG, but I have had success pushing and pulling my nose to the side while stretching my upper lip down over my teeth. Doing this has allowed me to get the bulk of the whiskers living there.
On my chin, I've been able to get pretty close by repeatedly and carefully shaving in all directions, though this is one area that requires particularly close attention to pressure which can often leave irritation or nicks/sweepers. Still, getting better.
On my neck, I've basically given up on BBS. Because of the way the whiskers grow in seemingly random directions, I cannot seem to find the magic stroke and am resigned to a WTG pass or two, followed by an XTG pass and stopping. I get a DFS, but still feel stubble ATG.
Which leads to my one trouble spot that still leaves me baffled: the sides of my neck, right below my ears, behind the back line of my jaw. Like the area on my neck around my windpipe, no matter which direction, which angle, WTG, XTG, ATG...I can't seem to get rid of the stubble. I can always feel something left when applying my AS and balm, which inevitably triggers me to go back yet again to attempt "fix" it, only to fail again. This one has me frustrated because there doesn't seem to be any obvious obstacle to accessing the area - it's basically a flat open surface. I'm thinking some more creative stretching and other contortions may be required, but I'm not throwing up the towel just yet.
So...how 'bout you?
