I must have watched my dad shave hundreds of times in the 'fifties, but I cannot recall any specifics, save for the gear he used. Somehow, I don't think he ever shaved against the grain, though; that is, I don't think I ever saw him hold his razor upside down and shave up.
Interesting question you post, Draconicsonic. My sense is that men of my dad's generation just grabbed a razor and shaved with little though of any "pass" protocols--most likely from having served in WWII.
