    For me, the water-only has migrated back to 3rd place. One with, one against, then a clean-up pass to pick off any straglers. The water makes stragglers easy to find by feel, and helps the razor glide as you cut. I typically re-wet the section I'm working on, saving the chin for last.

    I do the usual 3 passes; with, across, and against. I then wet my fingers and feel for any areas I've missed. I'll then wet those areas with my fingers and touch them up. The little bit of lather that remains then becomes really slick and my razor just glides over the areas I want to touch up.

    I do 3 passes every day: with, across and against the grain.
