One thing I have been trying is shaving those tough against the grain spots with just an inch or so of the blade; usually the very end. When doing this I find that I am not dragging the entire length of the blade over already shaved areas several times. Plus, I can also focus on exact spots little by little and feel how effective I am doing.

I started this by picking one tough spot on my face and working on that every shave: just under the chin and to the left and right about an inch. No matter how I shave I always have stubble there. Now, I just do my regular shave and take time to go back to these places and work them carefully. I have been having some success with this so now I will move onto another spot. Try it and let us know how it works for you.
