How do you shave?

Gillette Fusion, in the shower, usually no shave cream.

[The Professor]

2-blade bic "sensitive" disposable with Neutrogena for Men shave cream, in the shower.

[PeteSB75]

Use a gilette fusion in the shower. I use head shed first to exfoliate my head and face. use head slick to shave with - great stuff. Shave my head first, then my face. Usually every other day or so. Sometimes, I am scruffy for a few days.

I highly recommend that shave cream. I can use a blade for a month or more now - used to get only 2-3 shaves out of each. That is shaving my head and face, btw.

Same way without the pre-shave stuff. Love my DE razor, will never ever go back to a multi-blade battery powered new razor. Never had better shaves.

In the shower.

Schick Quatro

Aveeno lotion or the generic drugstore brand. It's been years since I have used anything like shaving cream/gel and would never go back. The lotion works ten times better.

I have the Merkur Classic as well.
Nivea or Prorazo cream (I have some Body Shop stuff to try too)
Low end badger brush
Nutrogena Aftershave balm.

Gotta try that; although I've been shaving my head for 10 years now and using Edge in the orange can for more than 25 years, and it is still the best I've found.

In the shower, usually exfoliate before or after, depending on what I've done the previous couple days; then use a Gillette Fusion.

No balm because I have oily skin, so I use a toner with 10% glycolic acid...then Acqua di Parma after shave lotion. 'Cause it makes me smell pretty.

I pull em out one by one with my fingernails.....

OR use a mach 3 with a cheap $ store rippoff of Nivia gel. The trick I have found is to soak your beard with the hottest water possible for as long as you can. Makes a big difference

Shaving is for girly men.
About once or twice a week I'll scrap the my neck with a cheapo bic after a shower. Who needs soap?

[Gophernut]

Electric here, and only on days I work.

I shave with a traditional DE (Double edged) razor. In combination with a good lather, and proper pre-shave ritual this is hands down the best way to shave, for some people. For others this will cause irritation regardless of your technique and number of passes. For those people I would suggest simply using a beard trimmer to get a stubbled look without the irritation.

I shave with an electric while I'm driving to work.

I use the Mach 3 Turbo with shaving gel on my face daily and same razor and no gel every other day on my head in the shower. I replace the blade once a week and use no after shave or cologne.

[AriesOpusX]

Old school mach 3 and gillette gel.
