I tend to just do one downward pass (two if I'm using a very mild razor) and maybe a few touch ups and call it done. I don't always get an especially close shave but it's more than socially acceptable. I am wondering how common this was... especially back in the day of single-blade shaving?
I have heard about shaving with the grain but in some places the grain on my face isn't so obvious, so I find that method confusing.
