So I know the theory of shaving with the grain:

  • Doesnt irritate the skin
  • Proves you didn’t grow up fatherless/motherless

But… it doesn’t work, right? Against the grain is the only way to get a smooth shave… surely?

    I find it easiest with a straight razor. I’ve never thought about directiion, as it just works. But I mostly shave with the grain. Only at the fold of my jaw/throat I go perpendicular to the grain. Basically any way I can hold the razor comfortably and reach everywhere.
