In what direction should facial hair be shaved?

Shaving with the direction of hair growth is recommended because it minimizes skin irritation and reduces the risk of ingrown hairs, which can occur when shaving against the natural growth pattern of the hair. Shaving in this manner also tends to provide a closer and smoother shave as it follows the natural angle of the hair follicles. This technique is generally regarded as more comfortable for the person being shaved, helping to maintain healthy skin by preventing abrasive contact that can lead to razor burn or cuts. Proper shaving technique is essential in a caregiving context, as it shows respect for the individual's comfort and well-being.
