Thread: Point type recommendation for newb with beard?

It seems many with goatees recommend shaving away from it towards the ear. May I ask why this is easier or recommended as opposed of ear to goatee? In my mind, pushing towards it would create a perfect line, but I'm new and clearly missing something (I currently have a full beard so haven't run into this issue yet).

I've seen the odd guy do that in shaving videos but I never do. After my initial WTG pass I always go XTG from ear towards chin, whether I have a goatee or not (I currently do). That makes the most sense, at least to me, especially when you hit the beard line.
