Hello fellow chrome domes: Hope all is well with U and your families. What is your most difficult area to shave on your dome? For me... the area that I have difficulty (more passes) is the top left part of my dome. I always have to perform more passes than the rest of the areas.
So... how 'bout U? What is yours? Back area of dome? Sides? Top left? Top right? What's your story?

Rear upper right, where the old "cowlick" grew out of, about the size of a quarter. It takes several passes in all directions of the compass to clean it up.
-
Shaving around the crown. Well, what's left of it.
-
For me, it's on the top, near the back. Always have to give that area a few extra passes to get 'er smooth... Also, behind and over the ears: The only area I can't get without a mirror.
-
Behind and over the ears always is a pain.
-
Behind and over the ears always is a pain.
Yeah, that too.
Getting better though with tight crescent shaped runs with the HeadBlade razor.
-
+1 for above the ears.
-
Above the ears takes a few passes. yep.
But the cowlick area and I have a dip in that area too, so it's extra hard to get that really smooth. Always takes multiple passes to smooth out that area.
-
Top right.....Behind the ears is a close second and the back just below the cranium third.
-
Top rear for me. I have two small shallow dimples that almost feel like a pair of parenthesis. I usually have to make several passes before they're stubble free.
-
I have a hair spiral on the top rear of my head and that's what I find most difficult to shave because hair grows in different directions.
To shave that area I go by feel since holding a mirror is only making things harder.
-
I found more difficult to shave my beard then my dome ,when shaving beard i almost always cut my self (neck area is always been most problematic @c3 even since i started to shave in high school )i can shave my head with every disposable blade even only by touch and i have on the back of my head two prominent scars and still i never cut my self sometimes i ask my self why but i just go with a flow and i am grateful for that ???

I have the same problem and I can NEVER get the hair. I can ALWAYS feel it. I bought a Double Edge razor hoping that would be the solution but I was so afraid of it that I couldn't even finish my shave. :'(
-
Top right in the back for me. Also behind my left ear since I have some moles there. I have a lot more trouble with my face than with the dome. Seems I cut something on my face every day.
-
Behind and over the ears always is a pain.
This is the spot that I pay the most attention to also.
-
I think my issue has been posted up by others. I have the 'hot dog' roll on the back of my neck, so I have to break out the straight razor to get into the crease, and shave off the remaining stubble.
-
+1 on that too.
Since I can't see it (and it doesn't seem too obvious for the public spectators) I don't worry too much about it.
-
Right side just above right ear,seems like it takes forever to get it smooth no matter what direction I go.
-
One always learns something new. Didn't know it was called a "hot dog roll." My mom is the only one who truly can't stand my bald head, but she tells me it's not the bald head so much that she dislikes, it's the hot dog roll.
-
The hardest parts for me to get smooth are the sides of my head near the crown. I usually have to settle for a little sandpaper.
-
Hey Mel-my trouble spot is the right side along the crown about 3 inches above ear...dang hair grows in a million different directions right there!
-
Top rear for me. I have two small shallow dimples that almost feel like a pair of parenthesis. I usually have to make several passes before they're stubble free.
Thought I was the only one with those bumps! the area in between is so annoying. But generally I find the whole top back takes a lot of going over in all directions.
-
the top of my head, where the hair goes all the ways.
-
The top of my dome where I have a small indentation is the area that gives me a lot of challenge when shaving. Hair grows in different directions in that part of my head.
-
For me it's a spot on each side of the back of the head at the base where it meets up with the neck (nape?). Seems the grain grows every which way, so no matter how many passes and in all directions, it still is not smooth.
-
There's like a 3 inch strip on the crown that has hair growing in all directions that WAS a problem until I started using a DE razor. I usually do 3 or 4 passes there ATG, WTG, and XTG and it's as smooth as everywhere else now. Also, like Skram, on each side of the back of the neck.
-
I have scars from surgeries and other things so the back of my head isn't easy to get a perfect shave on.
