so. shaved against the grain a few minutes ago. rinsed with apricot scrub, sat under hot water for a good 6 minutes, then used 5 drops of shave secret all over my head, put edge shaving gel on top then shaved. i had some serious tugging goin on. tried not going over spots twice but had to because of all the tugging so i know my head's gonna be screwed up. finished then hopped in the shower under cold water for 2 minutes. used ice cubes all over my head then a healthy mount of bump patrol and aftershave. absolutely praying that the razor burn isn't too bad lol

kferb, if you are feeling that much resistance from the blade you may need something different - either a new blade or a different style/manufacturer.
For example, if I use a triple blade I get a very poor quality shave (tried several brands) ... but if I use a double blade I get a really nice, close shave without any irritation.
You may need to experiment to find what works best for you. Because every head/hair is different.

Firstly, welcome to the family mate!
I was wondering how often are you shaving? Because I've never had this tugging feeling that you are describing...Are you trying to shave with more then a few days growth? As FG said, it could also be a blade issue what is your weapon of choice? you mentioned you tried the HB but what do you actually use currently?
Hopefully we can help you trouble shoot this problem!

my hair was probably longer than it should have been. i think that was the main cause of the tugging. i always thought that the shorter the hair was the more tugging there would be. i use a fusion pro glide. i'm actually in pretty good shape as far as razor burn. it's been almost two days and nothing yet so i think i'm going to shave against the grain again today to get that smooth feeling again.
