Well, as you can see from my avatar, I still am sly.  Just not skin-tight like you guys  ;)  I've tried oils, creams, combinations thereof, different razors, even Norelco wet/dry shavers, with the grain, against the grain, across the grain, and so on.  I still get bumps and razor burn.  Plus, in 4 hours I have stubble that makes putting a beanie on in the winter a b*st*rd.  I'm happy with what I've got going now.  Nice and simple.  My wife says I feel like a My Little Pony, which is cool as long as she continues to pet me :@`  I was just curious if there was anyone who went all the way, then found that it wasn't the thing for them.  Not because of external pressure, but because they, themselves, found a better solution than the razor.

I take regular breaks, as well. Sometimes my skin just tells me in a loud voice to take a few days off. There is no shame in this. I also like Peter the Bald's idea of changing the routine periodically.
The Shave Secret Oil from Walmart has been very, very good to me as well.
My usual pattern is shaving Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the only other times would be if I had something special going on where I needed a smooth dome.
This whole sly thing is an individual choice although there are many of us who are involved. As such I think that one sly dude cannot direct another's slyness, only offer help and solace where it is requested.
BTW, that is one mad posture in your avatar. My regards.

HonestJohnny, as long as you're happy, that's what counts.  If you like the slick look, then we can maybe help you find a routine that doesn't irritate you.  But, if you're happy with the clippers, than stick with that.

Dome of Steele:
To each his own.  I can't stop, I shave probably 5 times a week.  I love the feeling of a smooth dome and I don't have problems with irritation.  The only thing that stops me is laziness on a sunday or running late in the morning.
