Thread: Whisker Map

Again, I haven't gotten BBS there and this is probably why. It seems there's always one direction I can rub after a shave and it'll feel a little rough.

That was my intention exactly. I don't know how everyone's hair grows but I had to assume some people have hair growth unlike mine and I was trying to accommodate that.

I'm working on adding new functions to it now so one of those multi arrows may be removed to make room for new buttons. We will see how it all fits together and I can always change and add arrows depending on specific needs.

It'll come in handy when a new guy has questions about hitting those spots and can't quite put into words what he's got going on with his beard.

I figured out the same thing while I've been testing this. My original thought was that when I started straight shaving I'd map my hair in my head then forget once the lather was on my face. Figured new shavers could map their face and print it out and take it with em shaving or save the picture and copy it to their phone or something. Than or they could map their strokes and mark off the ones that did and did not work.

Hello. That is good work. I look forward to seeing the finished design.
