    Default Mapping your face re: you're beard's grain

    A Manic59 video suggested you map out the grain of your beard as everyone has some odd spots re: grain (mine seems to defy nature).

    He showed some sort of template (guy's face with areas lined in). Is that template available someplace?

    On the beard map subject, I always thought it was a bunch of nonsense...until I start DE shaving. It is crazy how you wouldn't even recognize how your hair grows when you rush through your morning routine.

    What good timing for this thread. I was trying to figure out my grain directions last night and had some weird spots. This helps a lot, thanks!

    Got it. Using the template you can make three more templates showing

    WTG
    XTG
    ATG

    And then you can tape them up somewhere near your bathroom mirror

    (and won't SWMBO love that! )

    In time, it'll all become routine and you'll do it from memory.
