I rinse my face in warm water, apply shaving cream, shave with the grain, rince face in warm water again, reapply shaving cream, shave across the grain, rince face in warm water again, reapply shaving cream, shave against the grain, finally rince in cold water, dry face, apply aftershave.
I do not rub or press hard with the blade, that is how you get cut and get razor burn. I try to glide the blade over the skin using as little pressure as possible and let the blade do the work. If you try shaving against the grain, do so very carefully, that is where you stand the best chance of getting cut.
LOL, It took me a while to figure out why Warbler made this post. I forgot that he was "ignoring" Bingowings, and didn't see the post I was replying to.
