I fill the sink with warm water. Wet face with it, use a mug and brush, then shave with a straight razor, dipping it into the water to clean it after every stroke. It gives me such a smooth shave that I only have to do it every other day.

I use two methods actually. I have this electric Braun self cleaning deall that I love, close shave no razor bumps and closer it seems than a blade. I use the Gillette III on the 'ole noggin ever since it started thinning a few years ago.
I guess you could say I'm an Equal Oppotunity shaver....LOL!

You get the best shave by running the blade under COLD water every time.
Try it, you will feel the difference

Lately I've been too lazy to actually shave, so it's just been the clippers all over to shorten it up. But when I do shave, it's with running HOT water...cold just doesn't work as well, gotta do like 3 extra strokes over one spot to get a close shave.

I use an electric so much easier and faster, it did take a while to get use to though. Just got to remember to get new screen and bladdes about every 8 to 10 months otherwise it starts pulling out the wiskers.
