perfect shave

Several of you have probably heard about my shaving reformation a few months ago. Here's the article that go me going on it. (Here's a the original with tons of MSN ads)

In Summary:
1) Use real, glycerine based shaving cream (this is my favorite)
2) Use a good brush
3) Use as simple 2-blade cartridge razor with no extras (if not a DE Safety razor). These are my personal favorites. You really don't need the extra plastic guards and extra blades.
4) Shave wet (wet face, wet blade)
5) Shave hot (hot water, hot blade, warm skin)
5) DO NOT PRESS DOWN - AT ALL - EVER. Just drag the razor over your face. I wish someone had told me this earlier. I always figured a closer shave meant pressing harder. How wrong i was...

(Oh - and all this goes for the women too. My wife uses a brush and the same kind of cream. It's the only way to fly.)
