    I cannot go against the grain in my mustache area. It drives my skin crazy. I tried it once in the very early and steep learning curve times and again recently. I get irritated skin and a rash. I do a with the grain pass and an across the grain pass and call it good.

    I Always do a fools' pass. Curl my upper lip around my upper teeth for a wider angle.

    Well I'll admit to popping my nose a time or two when doing a fools pass. The blade never went really deep and was more like a mild paper cut, didn't even bleed much.
    My eyes watered up when the aftershave hit it though, and it was noticeably soar for the day.

    It hasn't stopped me from doing a fool's pass every time I shave.

    +1 on the Fools Pass do it every shave held flat against my lip & as mentioned Mainaman I move my head more than the blade also
    I have also found the full hollows like this better than the wedges
    I think this is because of the flatter angle I get against my skin
    JMHO YMMV

    Just grow a mustache and that will take care of your problem.

    You men who long for love, you mustn't all despair,
    There's a secret you should know,
    to capture the hearts of the fair.

    You may not have the looks.
    You may not have the dash.
    But to win yourself a girl,
    If you only got a moustache,
    a moustache, a moustache
    if you only got a moustache.

    You may be common folk,
    wihout a hint of pride.
    But you needin to be a king,
    to make any maiden a bride.

    You may not have the name,
    You may not have the cash,
    But you'll make that girl your own.
    If you only got a moustache,
    a moustache, a moustache,
    If you only got a moustache.

    You be big and fat or uglier than seen,
    all the ladies shut you out, you wonderin
    how to get in, well here is my advice
    for how to make a splash,
    You can have your pick of girls

    If you only got a moustache, a moustache, a moustache,
    if you only got a moustache, a moustache, a moustache, a moustache, big moustache , thick moustache
    My moustache, your moustache, say the word, the word
    Moustache: A moustache, a moustache.
    Now we both have said moustache,
    a moustache, a moustache.
    If you only got a moustache.

    It is a routine day of shaving for me! And I know through one time not following the right way of moving your head up and down what can happen if you just move the razor!!!!!

    I do the fools pass every morning. Use two hands on the blade and move your head and not the razor.
