Two quick questions:

1. Does it matter in which direction you pull the skin to tighten, or does it just matter that it is tight? (if my hair grows down, should I always tighten by pulling up, or is it just as effective to pull to the side or to pull down?)

2. Any suggestions for pulling if your skin is still a bit slippery from latter, etc. (even after you have cleanly shaved the area)? I think sometimes I am getting a less than stellar shave b/c I am not getting a great pull b/c my fingers are slipping. Help!
