I lather twice before shaving, then:

First pass is with the grain

Second pass is mostly across the grain but angled a little downward, about a 45 degree angle. Chin is done on the second pass (across the grain mostly).

I do the neck against the grain.

I add water and spend a few minutes buffing and adding water, getting missed spots, just relaxing and tooling around my face, checking for missed spots, adding water again, etc.

I then go ATG under the lower lip
