Something else I have discovered is this: The type of razor I use sometimes calls for a slight variation in my pattern. Do you find that, too?

I envy men whose beard grows in an orderly direction.

Stay well.

I do when I look for it. Sometimes I break out of the pattern of doing what has been working and try something new. Oddly enough I seem to have different whiskers on the right side of my face and neck than on the left. So stretches that work on one side don't necessarily work on the other. Directionally speaking. Getting the map down and learning what works is ongoing. I remember Chris Moss once saying in a post something like, the shavers of bygone days (back in the Sheffield wedge period) probably did one pass and called it good. Like those old fellows some days I go through the motions and call it good and other days I seek perfection.
