Hello,
So I am having issues when shaving with the sides of my mouth. They seem to be pretty stubborn when trying to get something resembling smooth. I frequently seem to knick them and its causes a lot of irritation, this tents to lead on to small spots occurring.
I try just to go with the grain in this area as going against the grain or across the grain seems to worsen things. I usually stick to no more than two passes in the area. Whether I used an alcohol based aftershave or a balm makes no difference to the recovery.
How do you guys deal with this area? Do you have any tips in how to deal with this issue. I am still very new to using a DE razor so my technique will certainly be part of the problem along with still experimenting to find the blade that works best for me. Though I had the issue when using disposable and multi-blade cartridges so it is not completely down to my inexperience with a DE.
Thanks.
