I shave with a zen like state (by which I mean I relax and focus intently) I use more than one pass and go sideways to the grain on my chin and use air in my cheeks etc... to compensate for hollows and my angular face as I am thin and don't have a nice rotund shaped face. I used to stretch my skin but found it no longer makes much difference. And by the time I am at a place where I can go against the grain e.g., after I have gotten what I can with the grain, my razors edge feels duller to where it pulls and I'm scared.
Sadly I don't know anyone personally that either does or used to shave with a straight razor other than myself as I am from an era where everyone started with a disposable and have seen via movies straight razors used as terrifying weapons by men and cartoons in zoot suits and thus our psychology has been conditioned to think only old men without any other choice or use is faked in movies such as James Bond (btw is not why I started using one it came up in results when I was searching about them)
