Have a Merkur 34c that I've had for a long time but gave up on....any head shaving tips for in the shower?
Can also headblade if a DE won't be best in there...

Dude, using a DE takes more time, as you tend to go slower, and concentrate more. So you might run out of hot water before you get it all smooth. Of course, it depends on how much you have to shave. If you're BBC, it takes some time to shave with a DE. I usually DE right after a shower, in front of the mirror.

I always shave in the shower. Just easier for me, and i find i dont get irritation from the razor that wsy, like i do if i shave in front of the mirror. However i use a mach 3 razor, not a de. So if thats what u want to use, i cant really comment, as i have zero experience with using one either in or out of the shower

Sooo...I'm afraid to do this, because I'm pretty sure it'll end up looking like the shower scene from Psycho. Do you find that you bleed a lot doing it in the shower?

I used to shave in the shower all the time with my headblade and my fusion. Could do it in no time at all. No nicks, no cuts at all. And id get it baby soft every time.
-
I headshave with a Mach3 Gillette Razor in the shower and I woks quite well,
-
I shave with both a DE and a Headblade. Haven’t been game to use DE in the shower though. I get great shaves in the shower with my HB and save my DE for when I have a bit more time to do a true BBS shave in front of the mirror.

Safety razor, shower shaver here, it works for me
-
I shower shave without a mirror, so I use only my Fusion in there.
My DE and straight are used only with my mug and brush at the sink.

Its very rare i cut myself while shaving, but unfortunatrly, yes, it does bleed a lot when i do.

Incredibly rare so dont worry about it

I shave with a DE in the shower. Just stretch the skin.

My own routine has been (at around 12 days continuously) has been a hot shower immediately followed by a shave, followed by more hot water on the head for a second pass, then cold water to finish off and clean off stray shaved hair. I use aloe vera gel as an aftershave outside the bathroom.
-
When I was shaving my head, I did it exclusively in the shower (after 20+ years, you learn your head), only Mach III (the buzzy one). I did my "sideburns" after, in front of the mirror.
It's better if there is someone in the shower, doing it for you!

I shave in the shower. it's rather simple, you kust need more practice
-
I don't shave in the shower....When I shave my dome, I prefer that to be my only focus, especially since I primarily use a DE. Nothing against those who do it, it's all good and congratulations, but it's just not for me.
-
The best shaves I've had were in the shower but seem to take a long time. The hairs swell up and get nice and soft. I've used both my headblade and my de in there. The de seems to work better on the sides. The headblade's ok but doesn't hold a candle to my de.

I shave my head in the shower. This routine works well for me. It’s easy to go back and clean up the rough spots that I miss with the initial shave.
-
I usually shave my head in the shower. I think it's the easiest and fastest way, but my monthly water usage has doubled!
-
When in the shower, I find that conditioner works well to soften up the hair. I also have a nail brush and scrub my head to soften up the stubble(not for everyone but works good for me).
-
I always shave in the shower the hot water the soap the ability to go over spots that I missed is great . I have fog free a shower mirror that sticks to the shower door but I find I don’t need to use it very much
