Well clearly, your face needs to be lapped. Now where did I put my Triple Extra Coarse stone...
For me, a shave test is with the grain, and if after one pass the area looks (a close look in a mirror) and feels (running my finger with the grain) smooth, and shaved smoothly, that is good for me. I don't usually shave against the grain, because unless it's a special occasion, I don't find it necessary. As such, my "shave ready" blades are ready for my typical shaves.
Naturally, my top shavers will go XTG and ATG without a hitch, but if there is a blade that I would like to have in my rotation that isn't quite there, that is ok by me.
