Welcome! I can't add anything to what the guys have already said. There as many techniques as there are members!
It's just trial and error. I use a Fusion and Headslick.
Welcome!
I use Mach III (turbo or regular...whichever blades I can get my hands on) and Head Lube. I did find no matter what I was using the shave cream/gel would dry out quickly at the sink but I don't have an issue with it when shaving in the shower. I typically shave with two passes...shave once against the grain, rinse, reapply Head Lube and then shave a 2nd time against the grain then do a cold rinse and voila!
Good luck!

ycartt, you do mean HeadSlick, don't you?
No wonder my head has been so moisturized! Haha. Yes, I meant HeadSlick. Thanks.
