So my always told me "there are no stupid questions only inquisitive idiots"

So here's the question, Rubbing my face against the grain i can still feel hair. This has always happened to me. With a cartridge i started doing three passes wtg, xtg,atg. The de will not suffer me to go atg, so i do two passes wtg and one xtg.

Is it normal with de to feel coarse atg?
