With Merkur type DE razors
an ATG pass was out of the question.
Horrible experience ,due to dense and wire hard greek stubble and blade chattering.
With razors that clamp the blade close to its edges
( Wolfman,Karve,Tatara,Game Changer,etc ) I can do directly
2 x ATG passes on 24h growth
and get BBS in no time,without any sign of
irritation whatsoever.
No matter the blade loaded -except couple of exceptions like Bolzano,Dorco & Timor .
Going against the grain while retaining smoothness,
requires blade rigidity ,
most of all .
My 2 cents.
