Almost a BBS!

With the exception of a small area on the right side of my neck, I achieved a near BBS tonight. I thought I had mapped my beard properly, but once I let it grow a little longer, I found that the right side has a swirl pattern, and on a diagonal; the left side grows in a head-toe direction.

Set up was hot towels, Creamo Crème as a pre-shave, Stirling Sharp Dressed Man soap, Merkur 34C with a Personna med prep blade, cold water rinse afterwards, and then applied Witch Hazel as the aftershave.

Great work. Whorls are hard to work with but now that you understand you have it you can deal with it.

Your doing awesome!!!!

Good show! Those whorling patterns are the hardest to deal with. Once you have your basic skills down, check out these "advanced techniques" in this (classic) Mantic59 video. (There's a warning at the beginning of the video -- take it seriously!)

Congrats!
