Top lip

[IanS63]

Ok probably been serious with proper shaving about 2 years. I now have enough soap and blades to see me (and a few others) to the grave.
My favourite weapons of choice at the moment:
Rex ambassador - brilliant engineering and built like a tank.
Birth year slim - just because
Ball end tech - just because
Blades - feather, astra
Soap - A couple types of Stirling - great soap
My problem with any combination of the above is the same - I can never get satisfactory results on the top lip.
WTG is ok but not close enough. Across is ok but a bit nippy. ATG is a no no - plenty weepers at the corner of the mouth and under the nose and not a pleasant experience.
Any tips from anyone? Mrs says grow a moustache!

Stretch the skin on your top lip and open up the Ambassador a couple of notches. That’s how do it and never need to go ATG on that part.

Yes, the Fool’s Pass. You think, “This’ll be my best shave ever.” And then, it’s not.

I never go ATG on my upper lip. Upper lip is way too sensitive and I always draw blood when I first tried it. Since then I only go WTG and XTG. The rest of my face gets a full three passes WTG, XTG and ATG.
