Should I Perform a Final "Against The Grain Pass" to Achieve the Ultimate Closeness in My Shave?

While the final "against the grain" pass will usually provide the closest shave, even veteran shavers may occasionally experience irritation as a result of this final pass.
An alternative is to perform a final "across the grain pass" in the opposite direction as the previous "across the grain pass." 
This is an alternative method of achieving the closest shave possible while keeping skin irritation to a minimum. 
The performance of a final against the grain pass can still be performed occasionally when an extra close shave is desired.
