Not complicated at all

Step 1, Buzz it as short as you can, preferrably a 0
Step 2. Give it a good scrub in a hot shower
Step 3. Lather up
Step 4 Shave that sucker, take your time, and don't apply alot of pressure
Step 5. Apply cold water rinse.  Step back and admire your handy work

It ain't that difficult bro.  Just use clippers to get down as far as you can and then take a good razor to it.  The main things are to get a good razor, some good shaving cream, gel or oil, and then shave with the grain first.  Re-lather and shave against the grain.  Remember not to put too much pressure on the blade and you should do fine.

Just picture it as hair on your face.  If you have a long beard....wouldnt you trim it down as far as you could first? then hit it with a razor.  Just read thru the post....and remember...anytime you have any questions...just come back to here ...we will coach you thru it...

It's not hard at all especially once you've gotten the hang of it after a few times.  Especially if you shave with the grain.  You could be done within minutes.  I've actually started shaving with the grain instead of against it like I use to so.  It just helps with irritation and it speeds me up a lot.

Hang in there.  Just like anything, it just takes practice.

Shaving was alot tougher for me when I first started 15 months ago.  Much easier and quicker after I discovered the Headblade!

Give the head a good wash in the shower is very important. Softens the hair up before you shave.
