I've been DE shaving for years. One of the first things I did, and I suggest to a new DE shaver is map the direction of the beard growth.. Really map it.. put it on paper so you know the direction.

I have yet to see this recommendation on any of the str8zr forums, or in the videos I've watched, even though mention is always made to WTG, XTG & ATG. Plus, from what I have read of the segmented barber shaves, there is no mention to growth direction.

Just curious why face mapping isn't a prevalent with straights as it is with other blades...
