My method is a bit different.
I put my hand out so that the kitty can smell it and know that it's safe then I touch the top of their head and move to back behind the ears then I go for under the chin. Under the chin is the last spot I attempt because if they aren't ready for it they may snap at me. I've never had a cat snap at me but it seems like something they would do if they don't want you touching them under their chin space.
