Against The Grain

[Bensen]

ATG is the best part of Headshaving IMO, did that right away first time.
That smooth feeling is great and it's annoying when the sandpaper comes back
and there's not much to do than waiting for the next Day. Shaving 2 times a day didn't worked for me that good.

When I started shaving I was going with the grain, but now I go against the grain.  Makes my had feel much better.

ATG shaving is generally not for day 1, but give it a week or two and its worth a try.

I Shave WTG first ever day, then Atg,  until smooth.

My first shave was off a zero buzz, so with the grain was perfect, and I had read I shouldn't really be going against the grain at the time. As I've been shaving though, it's obvious ATG is the only way to get rid of the stubble. That crunching sound the razor makes as it cuts the hair is quite satisfying and I get super smooth with an ATG shave.

hello head bladers...

i have had the ATX for a few weeks now but used the HB3 and today i tried the wilkinson sword plus II,
but is there a trick to use the ATX with HB4 and HB6?

i noticed that when i use them i need to pass many many times over the same spots.....

for all of you who love it can you please explain how you shave (good)?

I personally don't own an ATX, but from what I understand the trick is to use the right amount of pressure.
