Hi, I wanted a bit of advice as I’m not sure how to do it properly.
When I shave, I either go both ways which causes me to cut myself a lot more, or I go from top to bottom but when doing this, my skin feels lot coarser. Is there a technique I should be using?

    I was told by a doctor to shave WITH the hair. Not against it. Also use cold water.

    Shaving opposite to how the hair grows can force debris down into the hair follicle producing things like razor rash. Cold water causes the hairs to want to stand up to warm the skin, giving a closer shave.
