One pass with the grain, reapply soap, one pass sideways to the grain, reapply, one pass against, then wash off and moisturize your skin. There's a difference between types of blades, for example feather blades are the most extreme. Using a safety razor saves a lot of money. Shaving brushes are also fun.
