I'm 19 and really struggling to get my chin completely smooth when I shave. I've noticed that even after shaving, there's still a faint patch of hair visible, even though it feels smooth to the touch. I typically use a safety razor, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to eliminate this issue. Does anyone have tips or techniques that could help?

To get that super smooth feel, don't rush your shaves. Try making multiple passes with the razor (like four times with varying angles) and don't forget to use a pre-shave oil. It helps soften the hairs a lot better. Also, keep your skin taut while shaving—it makes a big difference!
It sounds like you might need to tweak your shaving technique a bit. I used to use a manual razor, and I'd recommend doing that instead of a safety razor for the best results. Always shave after a warm shower to soften the skin, lather up with a good cream, and start by shaving with the grain before going against it. Just be cautious of potential ingrown hairs when you go that route!
If it feels smooth but you still see hair, it might just be how your hair contrasts with your skin. Sometimes, having light skin with dark hair can make follicles more noticeable. Consider using a multi-blade razor after a hot shower—it really helps!
