I leave a little hair on my face that I try to keep with sharp angled lines. I have a round face so the angular cut give my face more definition. I tried clean shaven and I just don't like it at all. My hair grows slow and shaving everyday is not the best for curly hair so. I read that a good straight razor shave should last two days so I shave every other day. I also have sideburns to balance the face. Symmetry is the goal.
