tip for shaving against the grain
Until now, my throat always had a smooth first pass with the grain, and a scratching pass against the grain. I often had skin irritation during shaving, but no razor burn.
Just 15 minutes ago, I was starting the first pass against the grain on my throat and discovered that there is absolutely no resistance at all if I lay the razor completely flat against my skin.
The upward pass was so smooth that I actually stopped to check if the stubble was really gone :)
And it was. the hairs had just disappeared without any resistance at all.
Maybe this is old news to some, but I just wanted to share in case someone didn't know.
This was one of my top shaves ever and I know that the against the grain shave is often difficult for newbies.
