Slowing growth

[Nickelking]

I've noticed that since starting to use a straight, some spots of my face have almost no hair growth compared to previously.

either side of the chin, a couple of spots on the neck, etc.

Now I know I used to get even beard growth before, so why the change? anybody else get this?

That's because the hair is so terrified of the straight they refuse to grow out.

I have noticed that too. Just the other day I shaved with my first razor that I set the bevel and polished. It took 36hrs before I got enough stubble to shave again. It had slowed a bit already but more so now, and maybe the more we do it the less we will need to shave. BAck when I used a mock3 it took only a matter of time before my face was like sand paper again. My how times have changed for the better.

I've often wondered about this myself in the past. I came to the conclusion that my beard/tache has always had uneven patches of growth, but only since I started wet shaving have I really paid attention to direction of hair growth etc. and noticed it.

With disposables I never bothered looking that closely to be honest.

I would say the opposite ... a year ago once every 2 days was fine, now the 2 day growth is quite long and the hairs feel like they are getting thicker.

I think my beard is growing more now then before, but then again it still might not be done in the first place....
