I have always heard that against the grain is bad, but that is the only thing that works for me. I use a shaving balm and a 3 or 4 blade. They seem to cause the fewest cuts and ingrown hairs, which really suck. If I use an old blade I get cut more easily and get ingrown hairs so I only reuse a blade 2 or 3 times. I usually shave after a shower since my skin is softer and less dry. Maybe I'll try doing it before a shower, since that seems to be popular here.
