In general, to shave with the grain, you’ll run the razor down your face, but up your neck. Wash the areas of your face that you’ll be shaving with warm water and a good exfoliating Prep Scrub to remove any gunk — including dirt and dead skin cells — that would otherwise clog up your blade.

Does shaving your neck make it grow thicker?

No — shaving hair doesn’t change its thickness, color or rate of growth. Shaving facial or body hair gives the hair a blunt tip. The tip might feel coarse or “stubbly” for a time as it grows out. During this phase, the hair might be more noticeable and perhaps appear darker or thicker — but it’s not.
