I shave against and with the grain.  I'm also kind of partial to the Gillete slide while going against the grain (not for a newbie to try).  It seems to get alot closer than just plain against. 8)

Try different angles.... On spots that irritate too much going against... I try changing the angle hitting it at a maybe at 45' or less, then working it up to the 90' straight against the grain. Also use more lather when going against... At least, thats what works for me... javascript:replaceText('%20O0',%20document.forms.postmodify.message);

2 passes at shaving each day - with the grain, then against.  Get a little bit of irritation from time to time, but nothing too bad.

 I've seen those videos on the face shaving sites before. IMO he sure makes a big deal about a simple face shave. Like Ming says ''shaving isn't rocket science''. l!#e

I do a little bit of both, but more importantly make sure you use a moisturizer after shaving

I shave my entire head ATG every time. Never get any irritation because of it, for which I consider myself lucky, because if I shave ATG anywhere on my neck, I get ingrown hairs and irritation like you wouldn't believe.

I  love the feeling of a smooth dome atop my head!

Well normally I shave ATG, but I just looked at the back of my head and there are tons of red spots. I knew I had some irritation because I would get bumps that were like pimples sometimes, but man its a lot worse than I thought.

I shave against the grain too. It makes it smoother and shinier too.
