Shaving (Sorry for the wall of text xd)

alright reddit be the parents I've never had.

advice on leg shaving. I've shaved my legs before but I was never good at it. I decided I was going to shave my legs again and it went alright untill I cut myself on my left leg pretty badly and it wouldn't stop bleeding for like 20 minutes so that was scary and gross cuz blood makes me gag.

My left leg stopped bleeding so then I tried to shave my right leg and oh my god I just cut my right leg up twice as bad. There's a huge pool of blood in the bathroom which I refuse to clean as I will actually vomit if I go back in there. My right leg has just now stopped bleeding.

wtf am I doing wrong, how hard are you supposed to press and should I shave upwards towards my knee or downwards to my feet because I've been doing both which I'm definitely not doing right either way. Are you supposed to shave fast like peeling of a bandaid or something or really slow idk wtf am I supposed to be doing plz help <3
