I follow the general rule of starting on the areas where my beard is thinnest/least coarse and moving progressively to the area that's thickest/most coarse. The logic behind this is that the lather stays on your face longer and the coarse areas are therefore softer by the time you get to them. For me, the thickest/most coarse area is my chin so I've always done that last.

I don't know that there are any hard and fast rules but this one has always worked for me since I started wet shaving.
