Glad you finally had a good shave! I used to be a sinker too I still do my face at the sink.
I have on several occasions done a shower shave. On the plus side, it is faster, of course it leaves less water on the counter but that's about it. It's not that much faster, and together with my experience that it is never as long lasting as a nice, carefully done sink shave after showering keeps me in the sink shaver group. I am rarely in such a rush that I need to save the little time it takes, and since stubble shows up w/in 6-8 hours, I'm aggravated with the net result. So for me at least, it's like the weapon, Fusion, M5, Mach 3, or HB, each guy and his scalp have to find each other regarding method, products and equipment to gain the "sweet spot" of sly for themselves.
