Whenever I've tried against the grain shaving I've always cut myself. This weekend and again this morning I was brave and built a gentle against the grain pass into my routine. I didn't cut myself this time, and it certainly provides a close shave, so much so that I was starting to wonder if my ordering an adjustable had become redundant.
Nope!
I've got horrible razor burn on my neck - ouch Actually I think I've got 2 days worth of razor burn but didn't feel it until I had finished today. I have read that many guys skin just can't handle against the grain - I think I am one of them.
I will not be going against the grain again. When my adjustable comes I will simply try to make my with and across the grain passes closer.
Lesson learned.
