I used to do that, but now I shave in the shower. My wife got me a shower mirror with a radio in it. Mind you, I also shave my head, so that's why I do it in the shower. It does make it easier to shave my face though. I don't even use shaving cream anymore. Just soap up and shave.

Been doing this routine for almost 30-years:
Use hot water with hand soap to rub onto the face and neck.
Lather up with your shaving cream.
Give the shaving cream a little time to set in. I brush my teeth next.
Use a sharp razor blade and shave!
It's been fun sharing hygene tricks!

Interesting i kinda go through the same process, sorta!
I wash my face with warm water, put on shaving cream, brush my teeth, then shave. I shave against the "grain" and it seems to work well for me.
I use those fusion razors, and i reuse them over and over , a blade lasts at least a month for me.

Shaving woes
I have never shaved a woe befoe. I would guess that you have to be vewy gentle. Do you shave the whole woe? Or just the fwont woe? The back woe must be vewy, vewy, tender.
On a side note: Being a woe must be vewy depressing.

I figured out a long time ago that it was just easier to shave in the shower. While I'm cleaning up, it gives my face time to soften up and just seems easier.
"I use a ra-zor, to shave......with. When I look at my face in the mirror in the morning I say.....huh!....little tiny hairs! All over my face! I tell my wife, 'Come here and look!...Little tiny hairs...all over my face!' She says, 'Yeah Jack...little tiny hairs!...all over your face!' So...I use a ra-zor, to shave..........with. Some of you might use an inferrrrur...an inferiooo....an infer.....some of you might use another ra-zor, but I use this new slicko adjustable ra-zor. It does not matter what setting you put it on, *ZIP ZOP*, it will slice your face in half". -- Bill Cosby
"The Space Shuttle was designed in 1971? The Space Shuttle goes 17,000 miles per hour...my bathroom goes 0 miles per hour, and tiles fall off of it! Don't you think it's time to open the R&D book on the shuttle? I have shampoo that fixes my hair on the molecular level! I have a razor that if I stand too close to it, it will cut my head OFF! I think it's about time we give the shuttle a little nip and tuck!" -- Christopher Titus

If I shave under my chin, especially along the area where the skin on my neck folds normally when I sit or lay down, I get ingrown hairs like nobody's business and it freakin' hurts.
As a result I just have "perma stubble" in that area. I buzz it really short, but I dont' actually shave.

I'm glad to see the "Dick's hat band" reference (although normally used when referring to something that is tight or constricting). Been a long time for that one. I'm down with the shave in the shower with soap crowd. Then after liberally splash on an astringent. I use witch hazel...works good and is cheap. Also don't forget the dreaded styptic pencil. Time to man up, boys and girls!

I always had that problem. The problem was that when I shaved it would be too close, the pores would close over the hairs and I would break out when the hairs re-emerged from under the skin.
I found that if I shaved in the shower that that helped. I also found that using a single blade razor helped also, I think because it didn't shave as close.
I finally solved the problem entirely, I just quit shaving. Now my only problem is that my beard doesn't grow well, is sorta patchy and half grey. I look somewhat like Grizzly Adams on crack.
