Shaving with/against the grain? (feddit.uk)

So I know the theory of shaving with the grain:

Doesnt irritate the skin
Proves you didn't grow up fatherless/motherless

But... it doesn't work, right? Against the grain is the only way to get a smooth shave... surely?

I find it easiest with a straight razor. I've never thought about directiion, as it just works. But I mostly shave with the grain. Only at the fold of my jaw/throat I go perpendicular to the grain. Basically any way I can hold the razor comfortably and reach everywhere.
