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?

Great tips!
A moisturizing after-shave lotion can help if you get skin irritation shaving too close or get in-grown hair. If I’m being especially aggressive or using an aggressive blade, my skin is way more irritated if I skip the after-shave lotion.
The key is to look for moisturizing lotions instead of alcohol-based “aftershaves.” I have used and seen others recommend Proraso balm, as an example.
I apply it, leave it on for a few minutes, then wipe the excess off gently with a cloth.
