For me it's against the grain all the way.  Going with the grain is just like not shaving.  Doesn't get it close enough.  There are those spots, like on the crown of my head, where you gotta go in all different directions just to try to get it smooth. O0

That's my way!

With on the first pass, against on the second.

I'm having a lot of success going with then grain and then going not against the grain, but on the side of it. Feels just as smooth as going against on the second pass but without the razor bumps I normally get.

The only times I have gone with the grain is when I first did it and the couple of times that I let it go for 2 days. I normally go all over the grain to get it done smooth ny hair has to many dang grains.
