Ok I want to have a smooth face but every time I shave down not every hair comes off. And when I shave against the grain it hurts and I get cut. I don't know what to do. I have been reading to keep shaving with the grain. I have been doing this for a month. But I want to have a completely smooth shave and I don't think this is going to work. Usually when I shave against the grain I would shave down first(with the grain) and then up(against the grain). I also know that the best time to shave is after a shower. Should I just start to shave against the grain right off the shower and that's it every day. Well thank you very much for your help.
