Hey guys I was searching through the forums the other day and came across a post that had a link to a face diagram, that has tools to show hair direction, stretching and shaving directions. I forgot to bookmark it and now I can't find it. If anyone knows the link for this could you post it for me. Thanks in advice gents.
I think the images you want are in this wiki article:Quote:

you are either looking for the wiki that was already posted or possibly this...

That's the one thanks Baron.
What does the shading/non-shading represent?
I just looked at my face in the mirror, and it doesn't have any of those lines or arrows on it at all. I'm going to draw them on tonight so I can shave better tomorrow.
Big problem w/ face diagrams: they presume that everyone's beard growth patterns are the same.
They're not!!!:nono:
You will have to spend time figuring out hair growth for your face & plan your strokes accordingly. For example, the diagram says to go down for the 1st pass on the neck--that's almost ATG for me--I have to go up & to the side.
Stuff like that. :D
that's why I made the whisker map application. it allows you to map your own face for your specific needs.Quote:

Hello Ace, this post is 3 years old and it's still funny. Blessings to you and your family. I love a little humor after a hard day.
By the way, I hear it's better to draw the arrows on with a mascara pencil rather than a sharpie, unless you want the arrows to remain for the next shave. I believe you get 3-4 shaves with sharpie arrows. :hmmm:
Is THAT what the masjid marker test is?Quote:
