My routine: Shave in the shower....
My routine:
Shave in the shower. Agreed about Jonathon Davis about the temperature of your skin when shaving - too hot and your pores are wide open and you have to be EXTRA careful. BUT, having your razor as hot as possible helps big time - “hot knife through butter” and all that. Plus rinse the blade often (especially if you use a multi-blade razor). Keeping everything constantly wet definitely helps and is easier to do in the shower.
Use a conditioner to shave with. I’ve tried a number of different things to shave with - my second favorite is Kiehl’s Ultimate Brushless - Blue Eagle. My ultimate favorite, however, is Bumble and Bumble’s Super Rich Conditioner.
Use a toner after shaving. For this I really like Kiehl’s Alchohol Free Herbal Toner.
Oh, and the razor - like many here, the Mach 3 still works great. The one thing I’ve tempted to try is putting the razor in a solution or a something to keep calcium deposits off it, etc. This supposedly WAY extends the life of your blade.
