The answer is position. That's the term for the hand-hold itself, separate from the cut or the direction of growth.
Grain refers to which way the hair grows, and angle refers to the blade-to-skin relationship during the cut — both real, both different from this. Position is specifically about how the razor sits in your hand to execute the stroke, which makes it worth knowing apart from those other terms.
