Those trouble spots

[halvor]

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem: those, for me two, trouble spots that just don't seem to be willing to succumb to the rule of the razor. The first is along/under the jaw bone just to the right of the chin, a line about 2.5 cm, the other an area just above and a bit down each side of the Adam's apple. I just can't seem to get those whiskers mowed down. The rest of my face I am able to BBS shave (although I rarely chase it), but not those.

"Live with it, mate" or "lookie here, this is the way..." ?

I think its whisker growth path and how much flatish space there is to shave and the thicknes of the skin with the depth of the follicle. If you have thick skin, a deep follicle, strange pattern of growth and narrow viable surface its gonna be hard without going in circles. I do believe I was once told there is a way to help re map your beard. But it needs to grow your beard and wax and comb it the way you want it to grow everyday. Now not sure if it works as I never tried it myself lol. I guess the science is kind of there but would love to know how long it would take to realine. Who's up for trying lot

Perhaps with the pace of genetic manipulation, in the not too distant future we will be able to have the relevant genes re-engineered indeed who knows - switching off hair growth may become an option.
