After two years of being a hobby shaver, I've settled on a three pass process that works to produce a quality shave and find that it works as well using a Feather SS Shavette/well honed straight as a Schick Krona.

Pass One: Shave with the grain on the whole face or where you usually shave
Pass Two: Shave with the grain again.
Pass Three: Shave against the grain on the whole or part of the face you normally shave.

Use a good wet lather

Use minimal pressure.

If you decide to try this out, please report your experiences.

No "across" the grain, huh?

I'll keep this in mind for trial after this month's focus is over!

I’m probably moving diagonally at times on my cheeks so a bit across. Thanks for considering and let me know .

Today I used a '47 Super Speed, first generation type. The blade was an much used Astra SP. I did the progression I described for a wonderful result. I do believe the two intial WTG pass beard reduction sets up an ATG to be easier for me whether using a safety, shavette, or well honed straight.
