I cant check off more than one in the pole question. But I first shave with the grain, then I go against the grain, and then I go accroos the grain, and on an angle, both with and against the grain. I use my free hand to rub my head to feel for any rough patches, and try to get them all!!

Just against on dome.  Can't do it on face or I'll break out. 

Well, I take that back.  I can do it on the main part of my face until about my jaw line and neck.  Those areas, especially my neck, break out bad if I go against the grain.

I voted 'against the grain' but actually I do it both ways, and across etc, until every bit of stubble has gone O0

Ditto.  But it takes a few hours to break out, just long enough to think I've gotten a nice, smooth shave in my bathroom mirror and then to look like I'm having a medical emergency when I get to whatever event was worth the extra effort...

Yeah, I hear you.  That's exactly what happens with me.  The few times I've tried it under the neck it feels so good and smooth.  Then a few hours later, all of a sudden, there is like a stinging coming from under my neck.  I'm like WTF???

Shave both ways
