I have been shaving upward on my face, starting down along my neck and taking the razor upward to my eyes. I don't what is the right way, but it seems to me that I get a better shave that way. I have heard to shave downward, but Im not for sure. I have been getting ingrown pimples which I don't know if that is the reason. I use shaving creme and I use a mach 3 razor. I am just wanting to eliminate those ingrown pimples.

Whatever works is best!! My beard is tough, so I shave DOWN once and then lather again and shave up against the grain. That way I get a nice close shave. At first, shaving up may irritate the skin, but that changes in less than a week. Good luck!!

Yes, thats why you get the ingrown hair. Shave downward. When you shave upward, it gives a closer shave, but it also causes the ingrown hairs to go under your skin & start growing, which causes the pimples.

Start with a clean face and a clean razor. When you lather, let it absorb into your skin about 5 mins before your first stroke. I shave down first, then I re-lather and shave up when I need a real close shave (for dates or job interviews). Mostly it will be a personal preference you will discover on your own.

the most important part is to wash first. this not only makes sure that your face is clean so that you don't push contaminates into your pores but also softens the beard for easier shaving. Then, shave down above the chin and up below.

nicely in case you suck at shaving you are able to wan attempt the electrical powered shaver..if no longer use the razor blade ..yet earlier using razor blade use a shaving cream persist with a tin layer and intently shave them off..=) it's going to be superb..

shave twice - first with the grain to get the hair off, then lather up and shave against the grain to get really close to the skin. (shave against the grain first and it'll hurt like hell.)
