Also, A metric assload is more like 0.59 of an english assload, you forgot to factor in the conversion of buttload-> assload, or 0.67% of total gross ass size X volume of load. :wink:

I shave once a day, and what I do is wash my face, grab my crappy ten dollar electric razor, and rub it all over my face until its job is done. Then I wash my face again. Voila.

if i ever have access to an electric, i'll do it just the opposite. i'll use the electric to get the bulk off, then the blade for precision work. i don't like shaving alot of facial hair with a blade, it's just not comfortable.

Bottom to top with the trimmer, and then with the grain with the razor (both on electric).

Method:
1. Splash hot water on areas to be shaved.
2. Lather up gell and apply on the designated areas.
3. Beginning at right sideburn, downward strokes. Do this for the entire area that is to be shaved.
4. Upstrokes across the entire area to get the shave even closer.
5. Cold water to wash off.
This is exactly how I do it, but with a Mach 3 Turbo, not like there's any difference. I used to shave with an electric, but I threw my peice of shit Remington Microscreen 2 into the bin because it's useless compared to a razor. :evil:

I use Gillete Mach 3 and whatever shaving cream is handy.

I start in the middle, and work my way out. I generally shave top to bottom.

If I've actually got something like a beard growing, I shave down first to cut it to stubble, then up to shave it smooth. There's an order it's done in no matter what--cheeks, upper lip, chin and lower lip, jawline, underside of my jaw.

I have absolutely not tactice when shaving. Especially with my electric shaver. When I shave the top o me head I go in rows. The stubble though, it's just chaos.

Shaving cream gives me the most abominable rash.

Sometimes I shave completely dry before taking a shower...

I have to shave both up and down, the hair grows in pointing both directions.

Luckily, due to my genetic superiority, I don't have a full beard to shave off. At 36, I can't even grow sideburns. I can grow a moustache, goatee, and little tufts here and there on my jawline and throat.
I keep the fu-manchu, the rest gets a shavin'....

I don't know if this is too obvious, but while you should apply hot (warm) water to your face, you should use really cold water for the blade.

1. Procure razor
2. Shower
3. Lather sideburn areas with soap
4. Shave these areas top to bottom, then bottom to top. Start on right side. Include jawline.
5. Soap up under-chin area
6. Shave top to bottom, then bottom to top, then left-to-right and right-to-left immediately under chin, then right-to-left below left side of jaw (I don't know why, I only need to do it on that side)
7. Soap up and shave chin and lower lip
8. Soap up and shave upper lip
9. Ensure that there are no stragglers. If there are any, shave them off with extreme prejudice.
10. Rinse
11. Leave shower
