Well, my routine is very simple (afterall I just started being sly a week ago ): get head wet; aply gillete gel; shave with DE razor with a feather blade; rinse; dry with towell and aply pure alcohol - works wonders for me!
What's a feather blade? I tried using a DE razor but was scared to death of the blade!

Razor - HeadBlade Blade - Gillette Sensor 31. Jump in shower and let hot water splash the head for about a minute.2. Squeeze abit of HeadShed by HeadBlade, on the dome and really rub in to loosen up the hair and soften it, this is key to a successful shave.3. Rinse off HeadShed and apply a pea size amount of HeadSlick. I then shave from the back to the front going against the grain. I shave by feel.4. Rinse off, feel around and make sure the dome is BBS.5. Use Pears bar soap to wash the dome, face & neck. 6. Shower on cold and let head soak under the water for 2 minutes to close the pores.7. Pat head dry with towel. 8. Apply ClearHead by HB. This is a quality product and has stopped my head breaking out. I sometimes use Bump Patrol too. 9. When CH has dried, apply AloeVera and rub generously all over. Sometimes I use HeadLube Glossy if I want that shine!10. Clean razor and dry ready for next shave.
In the shower:Lather with Dr. Bronner's castile soap, shave with single blade disposable bic, cold rinse.In front of sink:Lather with Barbasol aloe, shave with single bic, towel dry.I can already tell I have a lot to learn. My blade choice my be simplistic, even inferior. Sometimes they are too sharp on the first shave, but I don't think that is a problem I can fix by switching brands or types. I have read that there are oil based sprays sold for extra shine and I plan on looking into that sometime in the near future.
