No I'm not talking about down there

I have been dealing with irritation at the corners of my mouth caused by razor stubble or if I don't shave close enough there. And taking extra time to make sure those spots are shaved extra close also causes some irritation.

I'm thinking I'm not the only person this is an issue for. Does anyone have any thoughts on getting rid of this problem or minimizing it?

I have thought about letting my beard grow out for a couple of days then pluck the offending areas. Actually did this a bit once, but this also caused major irritation to the areas. But maybe it's worth the pain involved in plucking those areas if it deals with the issue effectively long term.

Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome.
