I never do / did an against the grain pass.
In the beginning a few decades ago I suffered from acne, so tried do scratch the skin as few as possible.
Then I feel no need to do that. One pass shave is quite acceptable to me. Often I do a second pass with the grain again. Those days where I feel bold I do a second or a third pass across the grain in the face only, never in the neck.
