Shaving the 😻

Natasha • Periods suck

So, does shaving downward and side to side (NOT UPWARDS!) REALLY prevent razor burn? Also, i feel like it could just be me, but i use to shave upward all the time but whenever i shave there in general i get this extremely weird tugging feeling, its not my razor though. Is it just me? And is there a way to prevent it from happening?
