How should I shave?

[alfa147x]

I shave every other day with a mach3. Once with the grain, then once against the grain. If I shave every day my neck gets really irritated.

I'v never tried to shave against the grain... Worth a shot?

back:
Way closer shave, a little razor burn near my lip and my chin was too hard to shave like that

Yes, it is. However, shave completely with the grain first. Then rinse your face with warm water first (pores open up, great time to clean your face) and then again quickly with cold water (pores close, forcing hairs to stand up straighter), clean your razor, cover your face again in your gel/foam again and then shave against the grain.

If you do it right, you won't have any irritation, no ingrown hairs, and the shave will be literally baby-butt smooth.

Yep, tried 2 that were both women's razors (lol?) and I couldn't really tell the difference.

And you can still freaking carve your face up GOOD with one.
