Which way is the right way to shave.?

Question

do you shave your face in the up direction or in the down direction?

Answer 1

in the direction in which the hairs flow... cutting against them will cut you.

Answer 2

you should shave in the direction whitch the hair grows

Answer 3

To prevent ingrown hairs it is best to shave "with the grain" of your beard.  run your hand up your face, then run it down your face...the direction that feels smoother is the way you should shave.  Typically it is down for the sides, and some of the neck, and up for right under the chin.

Answer 4

it is better is u shave the way ur hair grows. so most probably downwards. Unless ur hair grows upwards don't shave it that way. Shave in the direction the hair grows.

Answer 6

what ever way the hair grows or whatever is comfy for u

Answer 7

It depends.  I shave my neck going up, and everything above my jaw line I shave going down.  Now that's just how I do it, I don't think there is a "wrong way" to do it.  Do whatever feels comfortable to you.

Answer 8

Down and then up for a heavy beard.  If you have a light beard, then just go down.
