Title: WHAT do you shave first? Face or Dome?
Post by: warhawk on February 16, 2015, 08:03:05 PM

Hi Gents:  Hope all is well with you and your families.  We've talked about this subject before but it has been awhile and thought it would be fun to discuss this topic.  I'll start.
I shave my face first and shave my dome last. 

So... how 'bout you?  What do you shave first?  Face?  Dome?  What's your story?

I do my head first, as I only touch my beard every third or fourth headshave.

Head first.

I only shave the neck area about once a month ... so it gets little attention.

I usually shave the top first, then the sides of my head.

I am primarily a clipper shaved guy, and then it's clipper first, shave the beard next. But when I do razor shave my head, it's usually face first, then head.

Since I'm a bearded guy, I don't shave my face I just shave my neck and edges of my beard then my dome.

I'm in the third category.  I go back and forth, and I don't know what factors dictate my choosing one over the other.

But now that I think about it, when I face lather, I probably start at my face first.  I start building the lather on my neck.  When I bowl lather, it's a toss up.

Definitely shave my head first. If I run out of time or am in a hurry I can deal with some stubble on my face, but the dome has got to be smooth!
