<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBelieve it or not, there is a right and wrong way to shave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To prevent tugging and pulling while shaving, use short, light strokes, rinse your razor between strokes, and shave in the direction of hair growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nShort shaving strokes are better than long strokes because they result in less tugging on the hair.
