Thanked: 0Realized I didn't even mention my shave pattern. My hair growth is down to out. Everything goes down on my face, then along the jaw line transitions from a downward growth to going out. The further from center it is, the closer to horizontal it grows. Then I have a real killer spot below my adam's apple that grows up. I do WTG for my first pass, using right hand for right side, and left for left. I go super light with no stretching on my cheeks first, then quickly re-lather and stretch for another WTG pass on the cheeks before I continue with the jaw and neck. Straight down for the mustache and chin. Pass 2 goes across the cheeks, starting near the mouth going towards the ears, followed by an against the grain on the jaw-line, starting at the corner moving towards the chin. Upper lip gets a center-out pass. The I go straight south for the neck, making it a pretty good across the grain pass, finished with going left to right on the chin (right handed) and right to left on the soul-patch (lefty). If I go for a 3rd, it'll be going north on the neck and cheek, maybe a little touch up as needed.
HAD plays dirty. It lead me to straight razors, not the other way around.
