Shaving methods per individual faces evolves as we shave. I am not shaving the same way that I did when I started. As of the present time I am shaving both sides with both hands depending on direction of shave. My starting point now is ATG on the neck and I go from there. No chin or upper lip since I have a Van Dyke. I suspect that in a few months I will be shaving with a different pattern again as I seem to love to improvise and investigate ways to improve my shave.
