How can I thin down the chin and everywhere else there are whiskers with out losing all the whiskers..I am thinning the chin and other areas before I tan and after I pickle and shave..Should I wait until I tan to shave it down thin? I work my scapel around the folices but I am still losing whiskers..What am I doing wrong...

Those "whiskers" are set into deep folicles. Don't cut them off. It is that simple. You don't need to flesh that area anyway, no matter what anyone says to the contrary. Flesh by hand and leave the hair "butts" intact.
Wire Wheel the chin thin and keep the whiskers.
