Your Shave Routine
TheRedChile:
I always shave in the shower with water as hot as I can get it. I use the same soap to wash as I do to shave so first thing even before getting in is I let my soap bar soak in just a little hot water. the soap is called Dove +care, its in a black and red box lol. I use small luffa and scrub my head against the grain to make sure all the hair is standing out of the follicle's. I will let the soap chill out while I scrub down my bod. after that I rinse down and lather my badger brush. total shower time is about 10 minutes these days. I use a shick 3 blade or 5 when I have them around.
since I shave nearly everyday I always just shave against the grain first thing. sounds brutal but this has been about 5 or 6 years of practice so it seems to work the best. I have a goatee so I will shave my face as much as I can in the shower. always after I will rinse with water as cold as I can stand. once out of the shower I do the lines on my facial hair and just use normal lotion as an after shave. For some reason the lotion helps me find spots I missed on my head. if I find a spot I will just use a little water and clean it up. I almost never have razor burn and if I do its for no more than maybe an hour after. only problem is I sometimes shave off a mole I have on the left back side of my head..
Conservator:
I use either double edge or single edge razors. Whatever razor I use on my face is what I use on my head. For example, today it was a Razor Rock Prototype Slant razor with a Personna double edge safety blade.
I shave before I shower. First, I was my face and head with Neutrogena soap. I shave my face first and then my head.
I use either a cream or soap. Today I used Taylor of Bond Street Sandalwood cream with an Omega boar brush. I wet my head and apply the cream directly to my head after loading the cream from the tub to the brush. I cover my entire head with the lather and my first pass with the razor is from the front to the back. My next pass is from the back to the front and then do touch ups wherever I feel stubble.
I then take a washcloth with cold water and rinse off any remaining lather. I then apply witch hazel to my face and head, clean up the mess I have made, and take a shower.

Welcome to the group, Mr. Spicy! Any special products in your routine?
EarlBald:
I have started a new routine. I used to shave my head in the shower, often skipping days. All of a sudden, "something" told me that it was time to man up and go for the completely clean look. So, I have started integrating my shaving routines. I shave my face with Barbasol lather and a Fusion 5 razor. When I am done with my face, I lather up my scalp and use a Head Blade. It takes less time to shave if I do it every day, and I am reaching a point (common to guys on this website, I've noticed) where stubble is a turn-off, and I want a completely smooth scalp. I also think I've reached a psychological turning point. I am bald, I want to be bald, I choose to be bald, so why not complete the job every day? I feel as if the Real Man has emerged from under the stubble!
Tyler:
I was taking a break on shaving every day, but recently I've regrown a distaste for stubble so I'm back to shaving daily. Now using the HeadBlade Moto. My shaving cream depends on if I'm trying something new to review or if I'm rotating between Cremo, HeadSlick, and Pacific Shaving.
