    For me shaving the upper lip against the grain, towards the nose is much more of a challenge. I never cut myself going with the grain but I did survive quite a few cuts just below the nose shaving against the grain.

    I haven't even attempted that.... yet. Having had my first 6 shaves with a torturous edge and finally having a good shave with another SR, I'm learning that going slow is good enough for me. The ole "Leave it alone, it'll grow, son" axiom.

    I've had mine for 5 years and am curious about this technique... Almost to the point of shaving.. but I feel I would miss my stache. (note I'm only 25 so it's been 20% of my life with a stash)
