How To Shave Against The Grain | Gillette 

finally a video where the dude actually has facial hair

1:30 Fashe wash

Whenever I shave, I go both ways. With and against the grain even though I don’t have a full beard yet.

THIS VIDEO DIDNT EVEN ANSWER ITS OWN QUESTION IM JUST AS CONFUSED

Shaving with multi- blade razor definately makes it way worst, to shave against the grain, not easier or more pleasent!

I always like to shave against the grain. I like my face to be ultimately smooth and shaving against the grain is the only way to achieve the ultimate smooth face. My adoptive brother works at an oil refinery and he has to shave against the grain. Otherwise, his oxygen breathing apparatus won't seal properly.

With a straight razor you don't have to worry about spending $20 on new razors or worrying about getting hair stuck in the blades. However with all of these positives there is one negative, you may happen to cut your face apart.

Thanks for the sharing the tip about the neck side. I always had trouble at the neck side, because it's quite hard to get a complete shave there; do one mis-step and your sure to always get pimples there.

Needed this! Thank u

Well go against the grain or with the grain but don't leave the tap open like he did in the video. That's sheer wastage of water.

Will you charge me if I use my credit card?

Also you can use a shaving brush to remove dead skin the same way.

I can't get a clean/smooth shave shaving with the grain.

Nice advice, helped a lot, I use the pro glide and seems to get the job done amazingly, so thanks!

I shave first pass with the grain, second pass against the grain, and if need be a third clean up pass in whichever needs clean up. I use a 1968 Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor (an all brass razor. Many I know also have the pre 1961 Gillette Fat Boy Adjustable) with various of blades but Gillette has a variety of DE blades such as their "7 O' Clock" and "Silver Blue" brand of blades. I use a double edge razor (safety razor) because the truth is you only need one good blade to cut your face...not 3, 5, 7, whatever and double edge blades are only around 0.20 cents a blade that can give you two to four shaves per blade.

Great job my friend u got it down right

when i shave, i find it the most hard to shave against the grain on my cheeks (mostly my left cheek). i use a gillette fusion proglide.

@1:42 I hate Wasting water

1:42 dont waste water Gillette man! 🤙

Good information. I do most of these anyhow.Its good to know that I am doing the right things when I shave though.

Please do a video on how to achieve a stubble and maintain it

Some people tend to not shave against the grain since their faces may not handle shaving against the direction the hair grows. It may not work for them as it causes irritation, pulling and tugging or sometimes ingrown hairs for them. Rather they go across the grain which is across the direction the hair grows.

I usually go with the grain when I shave. But some guys either go with the grain or against the grain when they shave.

This is perfect. In most video I see they don't teach you which direction is against or with the grain. THey just tell you to shave along or opposite the growth of your beard, I hated them so much

Hi thanks for sharing this video... I have a doubt, should I shave my leg hair..? I have much hair on Leg. If I shave will it harmful for skin.? or is it better to use trimmer.? Please let me know....

Does Jordan Hunt use your razors?

This video helped me a lot, thanks gilette !

razor link please i want to buy

2:07 is that the first strokes you took to that area or did you shave that area WITH the grain first before you went in that downward direction?

Nothing compares to the shave quality of the Gillette ProShield. It is the holy grail of all razors.

Wow this like Shaving 101

Great Video 👍

When do the new beard or mustache styles come?

This is amazing

If you want smooth clean shave go to barbor, he has sharp blade and he is experienced with shaving

Ultimate way: first shave with, second lather and then across and then lastly against

Hi I was just wondering which razor was used in this video? It's not part of the fusion range is it?

I shave after my evening hot shower and always shave against the grain with a single-edge razor. Gutsy, yes, but after the learning curve I find that nothing shaves closer. The shave is so close you don't feel any stubble at all.

good to shave before or after a shower(including face washing in shower)

I am 20 years old and I shave with safety razor using coconut oil and shaving soap. I don't have a full beard growth yet, so it is still developing. It's thin and uneven, and with many bald spots. This is normally how my shaving routine is: 1. I have my shaving soap and shaving brush in a cup and filling it up with hot water as possible. 2. Hydrating my face with warm water (or shave after shower). 3. Putting coconut oil on face where my beard grows. 4. Removing water from the cup and making a nice foam with my brush. Paint the foam on my face for 2-3 mins. 5. Rinsing my razor in warm water and then I start shaving my first pass with the grain. This goes very well and is very comfortable. I have a light and nice pressure. 6. Rinsing my face and applying foam on my face again for second pass - this time across the grain. This is more aggressive on my face, and if I am not careful I might as well get few small cuts. 7. On the third pass I go against the grain. This is very aggressive on my face and I always want my face to be smooth as possible, but I don't like shaving that direction at all. Sometimes shaving that direction goes well, but I most of the time get redness, irritated skin and cuts. Especially my chin and neck. This is annoying. Sorry for the long comment, but I felt I had to type down in details how I'm shaving. Because how can I stop getting cuts and redness? Should I stop shaving against the grain? I think I always push harder and over shave my face on the third pass, because I want to get my skin smooth as possible. I got to be more careful? Any techniques I could consider trying?

people with sensitive skin prone to irritation even without shaving should never shave against the grain

Tip to the young folks, don't shave against the grain daily. You can do it twice a week.

No joke. I have a very coarse beard and a lot of facial hair. By far, the best shave I get is just using liquid Softsoap. Wet face with hot water, apply 3 pumps worth of Softsoap, lather, and shave with one of those 2 bladed Gillette Sensor2 Plus Pivot razors. Quick, no fuss, cheap, and close with rarely any nicks.

He said fashe wash. xD

guys am i the only one who thinks that the voice is PHREAK ???

Bruh my mom when I was younger yelled at my for 20 mins straight just cause I shaved against the grain

Never shave against the grain with multi blade razor.

QUESTION: Does shaving with/against the grain affect how well your beard grows out?

is it bad if i shave it againts the growth direction? This is the question I asked youtube and this video showed up, but it didnt answer my question :(

This shaver is so big it prevents men from going against the grain under the nose. Bigger is not always better.

I never use shaving gel or "shave butter." its unessecary. Just shave in the shower.

1:30 I like that

Warm water in Gillette videos = lava irl

I never go against the grain, my face can't handle it

I'm hairless 😑☹️

so you can or shouldnt shave against the grain? (like moustahe or neck)

You need to shave against if you really want it smooth

Very helpful video......but I recommend nt to shave against the grain as it results in razor burns and irritates the skin......Ty uploader....:-)

ima go shave against my grain in my pubes

hence why I switched to an electric......my hair so so tough not even Fusion or Hydro 5 from Schick helps me...

The most important thing. . you can use other products apart from gillette ...😀😀

What happened when we shave opposite direction grain...?

0:14 _"...Opposite direction the hair is growing... simple enough... right?"_ *or is it???* *heyyyy, it's Vsauce, Michael here... and today...*

Ush fash wash whilsht shaving for besh reshults

My facial hair just sticks out

Whenever I shave against the grain my face gets razor cuts

Phreak: an origin story.

Why imbi watching this ,i dont have a beard

Against the grain make skin darker

but it grow after 1 day lol, we need trimmer with 0 settings

Step #1 Throw that multi bladed cartridge junk away Step #2 Invest in a quality safety razor

Shaving against the grain helps in growth??

solution: asian, shave like once a month.

I am a feminist and find facial hair offensive

solution don't shave

Faysh wash lol

I normally shaved with and against the grain, when I was shaving the 🧔🏻 every week.

Why would you want to shave against the grain

Against the grain will irritate ur skin

I just came here to be lectured about my toxic masculinity

Hahahaha!!

Faesh Wash

Sounds dangerous...

get a safety razor. these multi cartridge razors are a rip off. using a double edge razor blade is also better for your skin as you dont have 3 or 4 blades "gliding" over your skin at the same time. and dont use gels, but shaving soaps and creams you leather up with a brush. you'll get a smoother and better shave.

shaving against the grain hurts alot.

Shaving for dummies

Cool but I ain’t buying your product

This is heresy for black men.

Well you wrote the book on against the grain with your new advert idiots! Be careful with those Gillette blades, just might take your old fella off too.

Credit cards are full of bacteria !!!!!! How would you be as dumb as to rub it on you face !!!? Don't do this ! Especially if you are acne prone or have any popped pimples or anything, you could get an infection

Real men shave against the grain everyday

Wow he needs to exfoliate

Im so glad i dont have a beard

Can you make a video about "How to take a dump" ? .... Jesus....why does this exist

Boys will be boys and your brand will forever be associated with week men, simps and manginas

Never shave against the grain Gillette are idiots
