How do you shave? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

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?

When I want to be smooth, wax where reasonable, chemical removal for most else, and if you want it to really last, IPL devices aren't terribly expensive, but I do not suggest it for people with dark hair tones.
