Just how does one shave against the grain properly? I've been shaving with my straight for two months now and I'm really getting the hang of it, but the other day I decided to go against the grain too to get that super-smooth shave, and I cut myself really badly under my chin. Bad enough that it'll scar.
My razor is sharp and is stropped properly prior to every shave, so I'm not really sure what the problem is. Perhaps the angle of the blade?
Any pointers as to how to not mutilate myself in future?
Thanks, gentlemen.
