How to get a Close shave without going against the grain?

Question

I've heard and seen all sorts of answers about if shaving against the grain. One of the worse ones being ingrown hair. How do i get a really nice close shave without going against the grain, because if i go with it, it's not smooth at all. I wet shave btw.

thanks!

Answer 1

the best shave i have found is to be had in the shower. shower shaving softens the beard the best, and i don't have a problem going against the grain.

shaving is the last thing i do before ending my shower. i use a shave gel that does not foam up. there are a lot of really nice ones that the top designers make if you wanna spend the money. i sometimes get them, but most of the time i use "king of shaves" shaving gel from the drug store. i always have the newest gillette razor available on the market also. this is one area where new and improved is appreciated. i think the one i got now has 5 blades on it. yep 5 blades, i just looked it's a gillette fusion. and i change the blade about every 3 weeks. when i first started shower shaving i thought i needed a mirror but i really dont, i just clean up my sideburns when i get out of the shower. you can feel your way easily thru it. this is the way to the closest shave i have found.

btw, i have been doing this for over 12 years now without an ingrown hair or razor burn. good luck!
