4. Rinse well. Don't forget inside/behind your ears, or people will give you strange looks at the white foam in your ear.
I don't know, I've always done in against the grain and it cuts pretty close.

You are posting on a messageboard asking how to use a razor talking about how you're sitting there until 9pm and you think TV is a waste of time?

So far I've just used a cheapo electric, never saw any sort of 18 thing from any razor company, of course I don't know if they did it 4-5 years ago.

you can get ingrown hairs that way, which just makes you look bad.

My father taught me to shave with a straight blade...so that's what I use. Leather strap and all.

BS Electric is NEVER as fast as a good razor. not as close either. unless you don't have much facial hair.

besides, i shave in the shower and it's part of my routine, never takes me longer than 25 secs or so to shave.

Electric is actually a closer shave
look at AskMen, its a good men's health/fitness, and fashion online-magazine.

I was just thinking that..unless you slide it sideways, you can't really get cut..

What I do is while in the shower, throw some of my girlfriend's face soap onto my face and shave. I've never used shaving cream and I always get perfectly good shaves this way.

When i shave (once a week), I just use the razor and go every which direction until no hair is there. I don't use shaving cream, it just gets in the way. ;)
