Two passes on the cheeks, one WTG, one at 45 degree angle. Similar for moustache, though occasionally give a third pass. Two passes on neck, only WTG or get nasty pseudofolliculitis barbae with ingrown hairs.

Three passes at chin, WTG, perhaps 45% twice. Occasionally the third pass is XTG. Lately also giving a third pass to the distal cheek near the chin where I have a patch of particularly firm hairs. There really are different populations of hair at different places in my face.

Even with this, and with a good, smooth shave, I still have a strong shadow by about noon. Even when smooth, there is still a slightly greenish hue to my skin, as my complexion is relatively fair but my hair is dark. I'm just a hairy, swarthy guy.
