Your Shave Routine
Socrates:
My Shaving Routine has evolved so much over the past few years... and since joining this forum, I've incorporated a few of the tips here. I'd say that since joining, I get one of the best shaves I've ever had, regularly now.
1. I start with Neutrogena Face Scrub. I rub it in real good and let it sit for a little.
2. I jump in the shower (new to my routine). Rinse my head with hot water, and apply the HeadSlick (new to my routine).
Depending on how often I shave, I either go with the grain or against it. 1 - 2 days, with the grain. 3 - 5 days, against the grain.
3. I call my wife in for 'The Slick Test'. :D
My after shave routine goes like this:
1. I rub some Witch Hazel on my scalp (new to my routine). I used to use Rubbing Alcohol. :px
Before I move to #2, I use my electric razor to get behind the ears, and apply some more Witch Hazel.
2. I follow that up with some Clubman aftershave.
3. I then use my shaving brush to apply some Clubman talc.
4. I then spray on some oil sheen and rub it in.
5. I recon over to my wife's stuff, and get her hair gel, which gives me the shine I like. O:O
As I said, my routine is a work in progress, because I always feel there's something new and better to try. Eventually, I'll get around to trying out the HeadBlade. The best part of my routine is the after shave, cause my kids like to help me out by handing things to me.

Sounds as thought your routine is always evolving and you're not afraid to try new things as you learn them. Excellent I think!

I concur.
tomgallagher:
Socrates. what is oil sheen.?
Socrates:
Oil Sheen by Black Magic. I used to use it in the 70's when I had an afro... just can't shake that habit I guess, plus it has a nice overall fragrance.
