Your Shave Routine
02kpjw@gmail.com:
I follow almost the same routine. I have to shave daily. I really did find the shower is the best way over the sink.
I have a mirror in the shower. One thing about a totally bald head is no need to try and keep the sideburns trimmed and even. You just shave it all face and head. If I skip a day I start to feel unclean.

I shave at the sink, better for the mirror angles. Head then chin and then touch up any roughness. Use after shave cream or SPF after shave if going outside. Currently shave in the morning but getting stubbly in the evening so a second go if going out.

HI this is my first post.
My shave routine is pretty simple in comparison to some of you. I shave in the shower and all I use is soap and water and a 5 blade Schick hydro 5. I start with my face and then i go to the back of my head- where the skin folds over and its easy to miss that little line of hair - and my neck. Then I get the rest of the back of my head, up around my my ears, then the top of my head. (theres not much there anyway).
I don't use a mirror, all by feel- and I have been doing it for so long and all with just soap. I am pretty quick. The soap is great to make my skin slick, which is all you need to shave it. No fancy lotions or skin products and it works great
Disci:
I use a Headblade with their Headslick cream in the shower. I use the Wilkinson Sword Atra/TracII cartridges from Walmart as they are cheap and don't clog up too bad. I am also not about to try the DE on the dome as I don't think I could maintain the proper blade angle and it would take too long. With the Headblade I am done in just a few minutes with minimal chance of cuts or nicks. I do a back to front pass and then a front to back with a little touch up on the spots my hair grows in different directions.
Goatee:
Disci, shaving the head with a DE does take a bit longer but one blade, as far as i am concerned, is far superior. Ok, it takes longer but, once you have got your technique right you will probably find that the time will reduce.
DE setups are cheap so nothing to lose in having a go!
