Hi, I wanted a bit of advice as I'm not sure how to do it properly.
When I shave, I either go both ways which causes me to cut myself a lot more, or I go from top to bottom but when doing this, my skin feels lot coarser. Is there a technique I should be using?

Shaving cream is important. Makes everything less irritating. I find going against the hair with a cartridge razor work best. But change the blade often. And it cost a lot.

For the Moustache avoid going against the hair tho. I have noticed in my case that even with shaving cream and hydrating lotion after, it is still irritating.

I would also recommend only shaving once a day and even having break days. All the skincare won't matter if you don't let your skin rest, You will develop irritation.
