RIGHT HAND HOLDING RAZOR:
hold your R hand straight out infront of you, palm down. now flex your wrist so your hand comes up like you are telling someone to STOP. now using your other hand put the razor out infront of your hand for you to grab. i personlly put 2 fingers on both sides of the scales. the razor should be opend to look like this

____|, scales up vertically, blade out to the left with edge down towards the ground. basically you have opend the scales up 270degrees
grab the blade, 2 fingers each side of the scales(1 in the front/ 3behind if its more comfortable for you) thumb underneath. thats how you hold it, it doesn't change at all from that grip while doing the right side of your face with N/S passes. yes your hand turns, spins around so that your palm faces in to your face. don't change the grip .. then stroke N to S.. top to bottom of your right cheek and right neck. i hold it like this for my entire lip and chin.
i then change to my left hand using the exact same thing but left hand to do my left cheek/neck.
pretty simple and it will become second nature very quickly.
