On that point, I prefer the 'natural' look though.

I read that it was recommended to follow up the against the grain pass with one along the grain, to help prevent ingrown hairs. Anyone with experience on this? |

Two years into wet shaving I can not remember ever had a single ingrown hair. As 'fendrihan' say, use a moisturizer after shaving. That seems to take care of it, at least for me. Happy shaving! |
