I hear what you are saying Lilbabychick... but I was assuming Aex was doing this with a full growth of hair. Possibly, the reason why you are able to shave 'against' the grain of your hair growth is that your skin has become used to the shaver or you are just blessed with 'rapid healing'. I found through my own experiences that when I shaved against the hair growth after I hadn't shaved for some time, I got some pretty nasty in-growns and a good ol' razor-rash
But since I have been shaving most days now for about 2 years, getting a silky smooth finish like you do, I have no probs... Just hope Aex takes his time, uses heaps of shaving foam and a new, quality razor
