Philishave. Rubbish, but all I can be arsed with 30 seconds after crawling out of my pit in the morning.

[Mister Rog]

Not a problem, Theres many sites, with much, often conflicting, or perfectionists results which can make the whole task too much of a chore...
Ive digested a lot, and settled on an easy, but effective routine which is probably easy for anyone to adopt with a few changes to their normal routine.

1st, and probably most importantly . . . . . . . . etc

Absolutely right. Routine etc is important. The big norm of cours is S-S-S   shyte-shower-shave in that order, important

However if you work-lifestyle permits, I would say

Breakfast-coffee-S-S-S as the first two assist in the first S   

I would say that since I've gone beardy, I use an electric for my morning trim. I've always found electrics to be crap. So I went laong to Boots so see what they had. I bought a cheapo Remmington for about £18. In the past I would have found this very unacceptable as I always wanted a baby smooth shave, but being partially beardy anyway, this has been great, AND saves a whopping 10p per razor I was spending on disposables ! Excuse me while I crack open the Champagne with the savings  NOTE: If I really want to feel and look good-ish I still use the Tesco disposable on the bits of face without beard or tache.

If you want a nice smooth, face just do what the girlies do, when they go hedge/boosh/ gardening, cover it with immac(other creams are available).

Used to use Mach 3, when they were the 'coolest/newest one on the block, and shaved once a week. Now have one of them 'beard trimmers' I got bought a few Xmases ago. Without any of the 'guides' I whip off the face foliage once a week, leaving it with a day or two's effective growth. A few months back a friend of mine donated me a double edged razor, very nice chrome affair, which he'd been bought as a Birthday present surplus to requirements. Have to say it's a joy to use, feels very 'proper' and of course guaranteed a very close shave.

If you don't concentrate you'll cut yourself, so unsuitable for rushing to work-style shave, which is where a modern mach3/quattro/whatever will come in, but take your time after a relaxing bath of an evening before Whisky and bed, and I find it very pleasant

I decided to grow it out back in .. March, maybe? Now I just attack the sides with clippers from time to time, whenever I shave my chrome dome.

Ok, looks like it's "photo of my beard" time. You win        Actually, that's quite a "metal" beard 

Here's mine, recently trimmed

[aaronjb]

The only problem is.. if I drive along with the roof and windows down in the BMW .. I end up eating my own beard

The shaving tips are interesting though as I've always fancied trying a "proper" shave.

I went for a haircut once in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and the barber offered to shave me as well, which I nervously agreed too.    It was excellent and I got the full treatment, hot towels the lot and I think it cost about 50p! 

[Mr Gav]

There's only one decent razor on the market. Gillette Mach 3. The original one

Beautiful smooth close shave. With zero cuts every time.

Hth

I used to look like Freddy Krueger had been at me with those, never been near a Gillette razor since.

No, Boko Haram operate in and around Nigeria.  Al Shabaab are the current nutters in East Africa, operating out of Somalia and have committed atrocities such as the Nairobi shopping mall massacre and the 2010 World Cup Final bombings in Kampala.  Al Qaeda bombed the US Embassy in Dar es Salaam in 1998.

That's why it's a cheap holiday resort.

Decent quality 2 blade razor for me

These 3 blade ones get clogged up too easy for me

Agree. ever tried shavin with the wrong hand 
For me it`s bloomin difficult. I can shave the left side of my face but not the right 
Weird, anyway I`ve over- powered my right hand & pulled all the ligaments & such like.
Went into work last monday, with a 2 day growth on one side of my face
None of the blokes seemed notice or care, first female I bump into is like WTF dude.

My beard/hair grows quick sadly not on my head though
Tried 30 or 40 different razors over the years
The best one I have found and one I have been using now for around 8 years
