Where my chin rubs my shoulder during freestyle I have a huge abrasion. I keep very clean shaven and I've tried Glide, any other suggestions?
Thanks

Jim,
The duct tape might just be a great idea. I think I'm going to give it a try. I coached 25+ years ago and if they had such a thing as the Total Immersion program I knew nothing of it. I still know nothing about TI other than that it exists. I've never seen the videos or had someone teach it to me.
I was just doing some practice today and realized that my shoulder may actually be rubbing against my cheek as opposed to my chin and I think if most people gave it a try they would see that if you reach forward an appropriate amount your shoulder automatically hits either your chin or your cheek. When I was 16-24 this wasn't a problem because my facial hair wasn't coarse enough to cause a problem.
I can't grow a beard because of my profession, we aren't allowed to have facial hair but good thought.
I think I'm trying the duct tape!!
