Back from the middle progressing to the right behind the ear then from the middle to the left behind the ear. Then it's to the front right down the middle progressing to the right then from the middle to the left.

Sides for me.

Left side up to the center (front to back).
Right side up to center (front to back).
Back of head, bottom to top.
Touchups and around the ears.
Face and neck.

PS
Don't forget the back of your neck guys!

I go straight down the runway, front to back--the hair is soft and sparse and it's a clean up job and gives a few more seconds for the gel etc. to soften the rest. Then against the grain on the back where although the hair is the thickest and coarsest, it isn't very prone to any nicks or irritation (at least for me), then around the ears, right and left, then right side, left side.

I start right in the middle of the top and go all the way to the bottom of the back and keep going like that all the way to the right ear. Then i start back on top and do the left ear. Then i start on my right side and go against the grain all around until i end up on the left side. Then touch up where i missed and special attention to around the ears. Exfoliate, rinse and admire the shiny dome. It used to take me a good 15 minutes, but today I did it in less than 5 minutes and didn't have to use nearly as many strokes as when i started 2 months ago.

Right side to top (front to back), left side to top (front to back), then same routine, back to front (against the grain).

Hey Mell I hope your ok with it but I had to fix the poll to answer this.

I start on top right down the middle then work the left then the right then the back.

next I do the loopty loop to get all the missed spots

Top, back, and then sides, right then left with grain.

I make additional passes with and against grain as needed.

Generally, I start on top, then do the sides, then the back. Then I just start going over and over, getting rid of any rough spots until I get that perfect sly dome  ;D
