Shaving against the grain.

[docjamo]

I have been shaving with a straight razor now for about three weeks. I feel that I am beginning to get the hang of it and starting to feel an increase in my confidence. I primarily used the safety razor and would make my final pass ATG. I tried to go ATG this morning with my straight and was very frustrated that I was unable to achieve an acceptable angle to do this. I tried going ATG on the sides of my face, is it possible to go ATG on the sides of the face? I could not figure out how to hold the razor at such an angle. Any advice?
