This may be a common occurrence, it may not be. I have a couple spots which never seem to be BBS after the fact. Towards the end of my shave, when I am touching up those more stubborn spots where the hair wants to grow in odd directions, I can get a completely slick feel. Seems like it is as smooth as it can ever be. I dry off, toss on a bit of balm, and I'm ready to go. 30 minutes later, I feel like I have sandpaper on one particular part of my face/neck. I find myself rubbing it and trying to figure out how I could have missed such a spot. I know it was not there when I finished... right?
Well, the other day I tried something that was new to me. Used my blade at and angle instead of the normal straight motion. With the head in an east-west orientation, I used a north-west stroke. The results were better, but still had a little bit of stubble left about 30 minutes later. If it makes any more sense, the blade motion was ATG, but the blade orientation was between XTG and ATG.
Now I have gone though many of mantic59's videos on the tube, and I have tried a few things, but they do not seem so fit this particular problem. And he very well could have done/said something that I missed that could take care of this. I have tried hot/warm/cold so I don't know that that will help. It seems like it is the same no matter what cream/soap I use. Is there any advice or help anyone might be able to offer? Some stroke of genius(bad pun) that has escaped me? Any help would be appreciated.
