    So you get razor bumps doing across the grain only? How much pressure are using?

    One other question: have you tried doing multiple passes with the grain? I don't think it matters which razor you choose, getting a BBS or DFS on a single with the grain pass will be difficult.

    i get razor bumps when i do Also XTG and Also ATG its doesnt matter if i do: wtg xtg atg , or wtg xtg, or wtg atg.
    Every time I adding: across the direction of growth or, against the direction of growth i get Troubles in my skin ...
    I'm running some pressure because my razor is not so aggressive (EJDE89L)

    You shouldn't use pressure. The EJ is plenty capable of getting a smooth shave. Applying pressure make be leading to some of your problems. The angle the of the razor against the skin is ultimately very important for getting a smooth shave. Try to focus on a good angle and maybe look at two WTG passes until you get it down well.
