Sorry if this is discussed elsewhere.

From the little that I've read on the subject, on the first pass you are supposed to go with the grain of your hair growth, and, on the second, you'll want to go against the grain for a closer shave.

From my experience, I've found that going with the grain doesn't really do all that much. However, when I go against the grain, those bristles start flying right off my face.

As my face gets razor burned, would you guys suggest forgoing the "with the grain" shave, and just go straight for the "against the grain", or is something bad going to happen to me if I do this?

Thanks!
