I shaved for the first time against the grain. I actually was not planning to do it but getting the hair under my lower lip is really hard so i just shaved up and it came out really smooth. Since i already started i might as well finish doing it. On my second pass I started out with my cheeks and sideburns then went to my chin. I didnt want to do my mustache area because its pretty scary so i just went XTG. But my whole face it completely smooth and it turned out amazing. When i was done i just said "WOW." But to go off topic I just bought my second razor. Its a Joseph Elliot 6/8 wedge barber's notch. Cant wait till it comes. Thanks Manah!
