Practice...

I switch sides a couple of times.
It helps me relax the grip and use a
light touch.

I also am not bashful to grab a tossable or
double edge blade to finish the difficult bits,
if I "need" a perfect shave.

I am always tinkering with my lather and
my hones so some days things do not work out.
When that happens there is no shame in taking a step back.
That reminds me -- I have some old yellow handled
BiC tossables way back in the shave den that need
dusting.
