I strech my face a little to shave the hair a little more. I make a face like a chipmunk and shave just a little more. Nothing has happened to me.

I'm not a boy, but, I will attempt to help you, through my supreme knowledge of watching my boyfriend and my dad shave...
1. I don't think you're supposed to go against the grain, go with the hair growth. I might be wrong here, and if I am, I'm sure someone will correct me, I just think that as its your face you need to be nice to your skin! Moisturize! (after shaving. I'm serious.) and make sure you use shave gel or something, not just soap. it makes a difference. (well, it does to my legs, anyhoo.).
2. Stretching your skin will not make it permanently stretched. Trust me on this one, skin is elastic, and is made to stretch. That's why when you loose weight or when women have babies their skin stretches and returns to normal. Its not ultimately stretchy, like a rubber band, but pulling your lips from time to time shouldn't make a difference.
Hope this helps!

when you start shaving, you should go against the grain . that way your skin gets use to it. also it gets a closer cut. i made the mistake of starting with the grain. no i get bumps if i go against it. and stretching the skin doesn't hurt it. also try the new razor with 5 blades.

Shaving against a grain with help your hair grow in with the thickness. so you're not crazy, just a little......odd.

If pull your lips made them bigger women wouldn't pay to have needles put inserted into thiers to make them larger! You are letting your imagination run away with itself! Put your creative energy elsewhere.
