Hit my 100th straight razor shave today and finally cracked the grain pattern trick

I kept messing up on the chin area for months (you know, that spot where hair grows in like 3 directions). Turns out I was going too fast and not paying attention to the light. A buddy at the shop told me to slow down and tilt the head different angles, and now I get way less irritation. Has anyone else found a weird trick for tricky grain?

@julia_carter70 light trick saved my chin too, nothing else worked.

Was the light trick the key for you too, or did something else make it click?
