Thread: unusual growth pattern?

so I did my first straight razor shave yesterday, and it was amazing. I only cut myself once, but it was a good on... I used a Weck hair shaper, so I had a square corner, and I was shaving my jawline a/xtg and the corner caught in the bottom of my cheekbone...

but I digress. one thing I noticed was that to get a good shave, you want to go wtg, atg and xtg... I found myself repositioning the stupid razor about 30 times each side of the face just to get the grain lined up right... I only have one or 2 good pictures of my beard grown out, and pardon this, cuz its in a bar in Austria (I ran out of razor cartridges with 3 weeks left in the semester). I'm the one on the left (in case any of you needed clarifying).

does this look unusual? Can you even tell what the pattern is? I could try to do one of those face diagrams if someone can post up a blank one.
