Lather it all up, finish off the part of the face w/o fuzz while the dome absorbs more softening lather and moisture, then to the dome.

While showering, exfoliate head and face. Apply EVOO to scalp. While that stews, apply shave gel to face and shave face (or should I say, like saintc, shave what little of my face is unclaimed by goat). Apply shave gel to head and shave head. Finish shower.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!   :)

I usually shave my head in the shower, then shave my face at the sink. If i don't shave my head within 2-3 days, there is a fuzz on my head that looks like I clippered it to the scalp.

I shave my face, but sort of work my way up...getting around my ears, plus a good portion of the dome before finishing the dome off in the shower with my HeadBlade!!! 8)

I switch it up sometimes but usually lather up the pate, then the kisser.  Shave the face first as the noggin' soaks in the Headslick and then shave it last.   !d3@

Title: Re: WHICH do U shave first?
Post by: Timmer on September 04, 2010, 08:53:12 PM
I shave my face first because my scalp is still getting used to shaving again and I really like to let the Headslick (shaving creme) soften my hair up as much as possible and get as little resistance as I can.  I think I could shave my face with my wife's week old leg razor and I wouldn't feel it, but my noggin is still a bit tender.
Title: Re: WHICH do U shave first?
Post by: lordmage on September 05, 2010, 12:38:04 AM
all depends on how i fell. dome is usually first. my dry skin issue tends to over dry anything that stays on the dome longer then it takes to shave off after application. rinse shave face and then do a second pass on the dome. first WTG then ATG and thur the woods where needed.

I usually shave my head in the shower. Sometimes I take a shower with my wife and while she is washing, I'll put shampoo and conditioner on my head. I evenually wash. I usually start with the top and double shave the sides, then the back. If I am alone or bathing with my wife ,I wash my head with shampoo and conditioner. I let the shampoo and conditioner soak for a few minutes then shave my head.

Like a few others have said, I first apply the shaving cream to my whole head and face and let the cream soften the hair on my dome while I shave my face first.  I go with the grain on the face, then with the grain on the dome, reapply cream and then against the grain on the face and against the grain on the dome.

Face with the DE then the head...Getting a bit braver with the DE there, especially on the sides - I'm thinking it gives me a closer shave with noticeably less shadow.  Still generally use a multi-trac on the back of my head.

All in the shower ... exfoliate and lather my scalp, brush my teeth while the HeadSlick 'works.' then shave my head and then my face. My morning shower (+) is one of my daily rituals I really prize and will not compromise. It doesn't take long, but it sets the tone for the entire day.

Head first- in shower wash head and then get nice warm water on it before lathering up with headslick. Shave the head  with Headblade Sport in the shower and rinse with cold water. Face is done at sink with Gillette Fusion. Apply Headlube glossy for the great shine.
