Vote accordingly (applies to wet shaving only or in another words..you use a blade, not an electric shaver). The choices are shaving with the grain, across/sideways, or against the grain.
Of course if you shave with the grain and then against, then that counts for against. If you shave with and then sideways, that is sideways,etc.
And if you want to post what you use, then feel free! I use a Gilette Fusion and shave with and then against the grain, but I get redness sometimes...Im going to try shaving across and see how it is. (I'm 16 turnin 17 soon, shaving with the grain I still have lotsa hair on my face) I'm Indian if that matters..we are hairy.
I shave w/ than against, but I only shave like 1 a week (if that). I'm currently using one of those over hyped 8 bladed titanium suck ass razors (fusion I think, it's all orange and swirly), I'm stuck with that cause I ran out of Bics and forget to buy more at the store.
I use a Mach 3 with some sort of AA battery powered vibration action going on. I generally shave against the grain unless I'm feeling pretty lazy or my face is extra irritated (sensitive skin). Also I only shave once or twice a week, when I have to work and its getting pretty long.
The only time I never get razor burn is when I go with the grain. Supposedly, and now I believe it too, shaving against the grain just aggravates the skin.
I'm using a Fusion right now, but only because they gave me one at EB Games when I bought Zelda (one weird promotion...). I normally use Schick's three-blade razor, and the disposable variety. When the disposable version costs half as much per razor as the refills cost, you know there's a problem.
The Fusion gives a slightly cleaner shave but it also requires more time, since the blade doesn't bend around my chin.
with the hair, and i shave quite rarely since im only 14

I'm 15 and shave every other day (Most of my friends havn't even started yet, or do so very rarely, also).. but I use an electric at the moment, may switch to the bladed ones and see how it goes, heh. Anyway, I dont know yet, currently use electric.
i do both i'll go with it and then against it just to get that smooth feeling i use a gillette fusion with old spice shaving cream i can't really get red so it doesn't bother me
