Hey guys

It seems that on some areas of my face, the skin raises slightly around the hair. When I go with the grain, I minimize cutting myself at every place hair comes out (the amount of blood can look like someone started tattooing my face), but I don't get a good shave. When I go against the grain, forget about it.

I am pulling my skin tight, I even bought preshave lotion.

I had a dovo solingen straight razor and used proraso cream, but with all the cutting I thought maybe I was not stropping it properly. so recently I switched to a double edge safety razor and the same problem happens.
