In which direction do you shave? With the hair growth direction, ie down, or against the hair growth, ie up.
I'm a lifelong waxer and have very recently switched to shaving for financial and time saving reasons. I listened to a podcast recently (Sliced Bread) about razors (no, mens are not the same as womens, apparently) and learnt that it's advised to shave down, with the hair growth direction. I tried it this morning on my legs and it felt really weird, like a handbag on the wrong shoulder or eating with your fork in the other hand 😉
Result, not as close a shave (how important is this if I'm shaving weekly anyway) but far fewer little nicks.
Thoughts?
