How Do You Shave?

Equipment and technique.

Me, I use a Gillette Mach 3, because they sent it to me gratis on my birthday way back when.

I shave bottom to top, under-chin first, then the chin and up the sideburns, finishing off with the mustache (or what passes for one with me).

How 'bout you?

Same equipment. Same technique. Seems standard and utilitarian. The missionary position of shaving, I suppose.

I take a blowtorch to the face. It removes the hair and leaves my face smooth and shiny.

All I use to shave is hot water and a rusty butterknife.

Gillette Mach 3 because I got it in the mail on my birthday too.

Top to bottom, upper lip first followed by cheeks then lower lip, chin, under my chin

Mach 3 as well.

I start by using drenching a washcloth in hot water and applying to my face. This makes the hair stand up for a closer shave.

Start with the sideburns and work my way toward the center. Top to bottom.

If I really want a close shave I will do the whole thing over again from bottom to top.

Apply face lotion and be on my way.

Gillette Fusion, 5 blades FTW...I like the power one.

Top to bottom, with the grain, cheeks/sideburns first, chin, upper lip, then neck, against the grain.

after that, I feel my face for stray hairs and go against the grain on the rough spots...

I really like the Fusion razor..

here's a great tip...buy your refill blades on ebay. I got a case of like, 48 Fusion blades a year ago for about 45 bucks, thats SO cheap compared to retail and I am still working on the same case...I have more blades than I could use in TWO years...
