I have never felt in danger using the fools pass , shaving th upper lip against the grain, upwards towards the nose,as i have laid the razor almost flat and used both hands,but as i am getting older and more stupid
and many instruction videos have advised against it i have started finishing my shave off with my straight,drying my face off,putting some olive oil on my upper lip and doing the fools pass with a Dovo shavette,in the belief that should an accident occur the blade guard would stop a deep cut,certainly not as deep,takes no time as the shavette blade is oiled at the same time.Do you think totaly unnessecary? or not a bad idea,i cant get close enough for me shaving downward alone.
