Counter Clockwise since I am a southpaw!
I see that nobody is ever going to click on my thread about this.
Worst. Post. Ever.

Well, damn you sir, damn, I say!
Here I had been happily building great lather with not a care in the world, able to coax those copious clouds of soapy goodness at will, after cresting a somewhat rocky learning curve.
Then I read this post from the devil.
Tonight, I approached my Old Spice mug, with it's dwindling puck of Tabac, and after my usual prep, I picked up my humble yet lovable, Tweezerman.
I stopped. What way should I swirl my brush? What way had I always done it? What?
Damn, damn, damn. This should be easy, and now...paralysis by analysis.
I came back here to see what way I should be swirling, being a right handed shaver and all. No consensus.
I clicked on the link that Ouch provided and read all about the Toyota Corolla effect, or something like that having to do with your grid location and how to use the Force to swirl. I read it again, and I came away more confused than ever, and with thirty percent less brain cells than when I discovered this thread.
I then tried to make it basic, and put the mug on the bathroom floor and tried walking around it, clockwise and counterclockwise, while holding my brush just over the mug. I went faster, and tried to decide what way worked best. I started making frustrated noises. My wife opened the door and wanted to know why in blue blazes was I doing a Curly impression in my bathrobe.
Now, because of this just-for-fun poll, I'm reduced to a drooling, simpering non lathering shell of my former confident self, a shaver that used to swirl with conviction, and now I'm having crazy thoughts of aerosol cans and iridescent blue gels, the crystal meth of the lather world that requires no directional swirling decisions, just the seductive hiss while that ersatz foam grows like the Blob in my palm....
No, no no! I'll get clean and read Jim's tutorial and go back to the basics...It's a VDH brush and Williams for me until I get my swirling groove back. Get thee behind me, you canned Satan!
Waitaminnit. Clockwise.
Never mind.
We really need to take all of your posts, put them together in a book and have it published.
Seriously.
By DE fault that would be counter clockwise.
