Finally...against the grain! by PianoMan on 12 Mar, 2008 08:45

For a month now I've been struggling going against the grain on the back of my head. As I was shaving this morning there was no stopping! I took my time, used lots of HeadSlick and was finally able to get it. Hopefully now that I've gone over it once it will be easier. So excited I had to share....
I'm feelin' very SLY yoday

Good to hear, bro!, I fully understand too. I only started going against the grain in the last month and a half or so. I was only going with the grain pretty much all around, with the exception of the sides near the ears.
I finally said "let me see if I can do this", and started doing the top front to back and I gradually got used to it. It's awesome, and I get smoother than smooth. It's slick and clean.
I still can't go from back of neck up to top, it seems the blade digs in more there. Going to have to just go slow until I get used to the feel. -

Way to go, Piano Man (great song, BTW). I have been going against the grain for as long as I can remember. Like the guys said, it just takes practice and patience. Hang in there, you'll get it.

Nice Job.
It's tough to take that first step. I know it took me forever to go sly - I used clippers for quite a while. When I finally went sly a month or so ago, I started going against the grain right away. I figured if I'm going to take a dip in the water I might as well jump.
I just read a lot on this forum and just took my time. Just don't get cocky..one morning I went a little faster than I should have and nicked myself. Lesson learned
