Silly question but I don't know which direction under my chin, and left/right below the cheeks, and left/right neck area grows. Are there any diagrams out there?
It won't be the same for everyone., especially on the neck. Many people have whorls or sudden changes of direction. Try letting your beard grow for a few days and take some photos.
Good idea to map your beard grain, you will get better shaves regardless if it is with cartridge,DE,SE,electric or straight. You should enjoy your shave better.Silly question but I don't know which direction under my chin, and left/right below the cheeks, and left/right neck area grows. Are there any diagrams out there?
With a map you should learn quicker or even photos, not sure what you mean Diagrams don't work!Diagrams don't work.
It's different for every person. If you shave every day you will eventually figure it out and learn it.
When I first started wetshaving I was clueless, now I can do all my passes wth my eyes closed and half asleep and always go the right direction. With time you will also be able to, so don't sweat it, because you will learn it.
