Shave in the shower. First, soap & scrub your face clean. Next, soap up everything on your face (don't forget under your nose). Next, shave with one hand while feeling your skin Braille style with the other hand to see which way is against the grain. Always shave against the grain.

Every few strokes, put the razor up to the shower head to clear the blades. Don't be afraid to go over spots until they are smoothe, but always try to shave against the grain, even if you have to change angles.

Now, the tricky spot is the hair in front of your ears (side burns?). You need to feel how many fingers up that hair is from the nub in your ear. Then move the measuring hand outwards and shave upward until your shaving hand is blocked by your free hand. Do the other side the same way (with the same number of fingers).

If you use a razor with a pivoting head and don't press down like you're trying to break the point off a No.2 pencil, you should be fine.

PS- Hair cuts and new ways to shave should never be tried closer than 3 days before a going out on a date. Trust Me.
