I know this isn't a Saturday Night question but I was once told that both shaving and applying medication to the body should be downwards and not upwards. Something to do with hair follicles becoming infected apparently.
Has anyone else had an issue with this? |

Nope. I shave down first then up and never had any kind of infections... im just guessing its ppl using crappy old razors and not keeping them clean.. or themselves for that matter |

Buy good quality razors. Use a balm. Or even hair conditioner is good. It helps avoid stubble rash.
And then moisturize afterwards.
Going in the direction the hair grows obviously wont give you as close of a shave.
Or just use veet cream hair removal cream it's easier.

"This is a recent discovery for me, but down to trim hairs to a reasonable length, then up to get a close shave. Thank me later."
You're right so I'll thank you now! |

I don't shave often, just trim, but when I do I go with the growth to get rid of most then across the grain to finish. It's damn near as close as shaving against the growth with a lot less chance of a rash. |

"Noted and appreciated, thanks guys"
I shave all over, and in all directions very regularly, to make sure it is completely smooth. Using a good quality razor ( I use a Gillette Venus) and moisturiser, personally have never had any issue with shaving rash - anywhere!

I use a hair trimmer to reduce my beard to stubble.
Then apply a gel foam and then shave downwards then side to side with one of the latest manual shavers. Same for neck region.
To finish the neck with a close shave I shave upwards. Then use a warm flannel and a balm if I have one... |

Before the beard I'd have a rigorous shaving regime to avoid cuts and rashes (I was always prone to them)
Shower
Apply shave coconut butter
Shave down
Apply again
Shave up
Cold water splash
Dry
Moisturise
Then go about my day until I find that one fucking hair that I missed |
