I usually shave at the health club after showering using whatever soap they have in the devices at the sinks and a generic twin blade that usually lasts about 10 shaves. Though I got a generic razor at the last hotel I stayed in in India and that thing lasted 2 months of shaving. It just wouldn't dull.
I have tried ever shaving blade, cream, lotion, electric, etc. out there. I used to have baby smooth skin in college, and to some degree still do. But 5 years ago my skin changed such that no matter what I do, no matter the razor, no matter the technique, I get micro shaven hair particles stuck back in my pores, maybe 3 per shave which then get infected and I have to dig them out.
It's a great look, I can tell you.
Even went in for laser hair removal, $1400 later I still have at least 50% growth on my face.
