I've tried the sink shave before but not without making such a mess. I'll have to give it another go.
Did you say you use the same razor on your face as you do on your head?

Oh, I make a mess at the sink too, but I use a towel to clean it up then throw it in the wash. I use my trusty Fusion on my face, or what's left of it after the goat has grown in, and on my head. In that regard the Fusion has the triming blade or edger that really helps keeping the goat in bounds. Only thing I change is I use gel on my face and Headslick + some baby oil on my scalp, w/ a second pass w/ Shave Secret and the rest of the HS in the brush. The brush is really nice.

Sounds like the biggest reason people use the shower from what I've gathered is b/c of the mess factor. I can't tell any real difference in comfort in shaving in the shower vs at the sink other than on my face. Does seem more comfy to shave at sink.
I used to use a brush with a double-edge safety razor on my face until I started going sly and got rid of the goatee. I can't shave my upper lip area very well with the DE without knicks. The rest of the face is no problem.
Kratos:
The upper lip is the most difficult part of my face to shave also, I'm always getting nicked there. As for the original post, Hookem makes a great point, washing and changing pillow cases frequently is important. I suffered from a ringworm looking infection at one point, spread all over my scalp. I now try to keep my head as clean as possible.

Thank you, Peter. What are you shaving with?
