Re: How do you shave?
I shave in two passes. The 1st pass is with the grain and the 2nd pass is against the grain. I apply pre shave oil, shaving cream using a badger brush, and shave with a Mach3. Follow up with some after shave balm.

Re: How do you shave?
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.

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.

Re: How do you shave?
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

Re: How do you shave?
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.
Good places to start if you wanna learn more about traditional wetshaving are: http://shaveblog.com/ and http://badgerandblade.com/ -Eric |

Re: How do you shave?
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.

It's scary at first, and first few times it took me over an hour. Even now it still takes way longer then with something like say a Quattro. Personally I find it relaxing and rewarding putting that time in. If you'd like some tips or a how to I'd be more then willing. It's just don't rush and keep your blade sharp, no magic ninja tricks. Not saying I'm not a magical ninja though
