The way I was taught was to place down a paper towel, then crack the side of the egg against the flat surface and roll the egg back-and-forth to mush the shell into much smaller pieces.
Should make it easier to peel bit by bit instead of pulling away large chunks that can cut into the egg “flesh.”
Edit: the paper towel was to make it easier to clean up the shell bits afterwards
Yes! Tap it against the counter to start the first crack, and then somewhat firmly roll it on the counter to break the shell all over. You can also do it by tapping it all over with a spoon or something but the rolling is so much quicker I never bother anymore

That’s my technique as well.
