So I know the theory of shaving with the grain:
- Doesnt irritate the skin
- Proves you didn’t grow up fatherless/motherless
But… it doesn’t work, right? Against the grain is the only way to get a smooth shave… surely?

Years ago I’ve seen a documentary about a semi-famous barbershop/beard grooming salon where they’ve asked the barber the same question. And the guy basically said: As hair grows in every direction, you - of course - have to shave in every direction as well to get a clean shave. And he emphasised that there’s nothing to all those stories of never going against the grain.
