I just shave my cheeks with the grain on the first pass, to get off the majority of the stubble. Then against the grain on the second pass. Doesn't seem too complicated. I sort of anchor the skin at the chin to keep the cheeks taught during the up-strokes, but no complicated stretching.
Thank goodness bootedbear replied. I had NO idea what "chicks" were.
Shaving your face against the grain with the Headblade really needs to be done slowly.
I shave from the bottom of my neck up,'till the goatee,and it feels there's still stubble.(Even though I do a second pass)
