Trouble lifting skin during shave of jawline

I have posted in the past that I am not able to clear the area under the jawline. It was suggested that I lift the skin as I shave those areas. I keep trying and the skin is too slippery to hold in place. I keep pushing up from the cheek but i am not able to get a grip.

any thoughts?

thanks!

Run your fingers across an alum block and your fingers won't slip.

+1 on the alum block.

Or instead of stretching the skin, simply drop your jaw.

Alum block. Use a towel to dry fingers and shaved skin. Make funny shaving faces.

I try as a rule to avoid holding the skin where I have shaved - so on the cheek above the shave line or on the neck below it. This way I just need to dry my fingers as the skin there is fairly dry anyway

This. A lot of us get more irritation from skin-stretching, not less. You might want to try bullfrogging. See this thread for more.

Try bullfrogging. It works for many of us.

Put your finger on your jaw line while your jaw is not dropped and then drop your jaw while not moving your finger. Notice where your finger is and where your jaw line with an open jaw is.

Drop the jaw is a good technique
