You'll continue to learn about your whisker growth each time you shave. However, learning the direction of your whisker growth is not merely the result of visual inspection. For about a month, I thought that the whiskers along my jawline either side of midline grew north to south - looked that way in the mirror to me after a few day's of beard growth. I kept wondering why I never seemed to get good results in those areas even with WTG, XTG, and several ATG's. It wasn't until I started experimenting with the directions of my passes that I realized that I was NOT actually going ATG in those areas. If you put some lather on your finger and run it over a "trouble" spot, it makes it easier to tell which way is ATG.

Good luck. Be patient. It WILL get better!
