Some time ago I noticed the direction changed 'in mysterious ways' on some parts of my face. I just grew about 2 days worth of beard, in order to grasp a better understanding of grain direction.
I always shaved assuming there was only one grain, the one that my hands feel when I rub my fingers on my unshaven face. Imagine my surprise when I found out that there is another grain, the one I can see with my eyes! On some parts of my face, fingers and eyes happily agree - but on others, fingers say (e.g.) E-W when eyes tell me N-S.
So now which one is the correct one? What grain should I shave with or against?
