Men shave in both directions. The hair on my face grows downward so I shave upwards on my face for a close shave. The hair on my neck grows upward so I shave downwards on my neck.

I don't know why they tell us to shave in a downward motion. I shave upwards against the grain of the hair and I always have.

in medical school, i was taught to shave the cheeks and chin downward and the neck area upward. i think it depends on how the hair is growing for most guys, so there probably isnt a "one shave fits all" technique.

Most people shave with the hair growth with a new razor to lessen irritation but as the razor dulls they shave up, down and crossways to get as clean shaven as possible.

it causes to much irritation and razor burn usually. when we shave up we are usually shaving against the grain which leads to the irritation. therefore, we shave downward.

because if we shave upward then we will have rough skin and scars,
so downward is more safty and it will be softer for u girls
