Have you ever deviated from your normal shaving routine?

• Normally I soak my head in the hottest water I can stand before lathering up.  Yesterday I was rushing and skipped that step.
  
  Omg, why did I do that?  Firstly, applying the gel did not go nearly as smooth as it normally does and was really thick.  Then trying to shave was difficult and I even felt razor burn for the first time.  My razor was having a hard time cutting.  About 1/3 way through my shave I stopped because I was having a horrible experience.  So I rinsed off the gel and soaked my head in hot water for about a minute like I normally do.
  
  Ahhhhh yes.  Applied my gel and shaved my head with no problems.  I learned about soaking my head first from a youtube video and just obeyed, but I never knew why.
  
  Now I know why.  Lol!

• Only when I get lazy and I get frustrated that I have not shaved for 3 days.

• I had tremendous success with a major routine deviation yesterday! My entire life I have always shaved either before shower (when using de) or during shower (when using head blade) however yesterday I decided to shave post shower with one of my more aggressive DEs and a very sharp blade.  A combo that typically would leave my skin very uncomfortable.  Well let me tell you... That was great.  Very smooth and almost  no irritation.
