Problems shaving against the grain
Hi,
I have been shaving with a straight razor about a year now, only with the grain and across it. I have had no problem and get a very good, comfortable shave. A few days ago I tried going against the grain and it was not fun. I started bleeding at quite a few hair folicles and my whole neck and under my chin felt like it was on fire. I seemed to get my cheeks, sould patch area and moustache OK, but under my chin and my neck area was not. Does going against the grain just take some getting used to or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Joe
