What's your shaving routine and method?

Each blade only lasts you two shaves? I can get at least 4-5, and I'm not exactly ripping up my face.

I was impressed. The bristles on that brush are made from real Omega Boars.

yes. if it's only costing me $.05 cents per shave, i'm fine using it twice and throwing it out. I want to absolutely ensure that i have a super-sharp blade every time.
 
I shit, shave then shower.every.fucking.day! Guess what? I shower again before bed just because it relaxes me.

What else you want to know?!? How I fuck your moms?

I shave about once every 3-4 days, I find it a complete waste of time/razors/shave soap to shave daily, or even every other day. I use an old-fashioned double-edged razor, and my go-to blade are Astra Superior Platinum:

You can get a pack of these off of Amazon for like, ten bucks. I use each blade twice. I shave once, then my next shave I flip the blade over so I use the opposite edge, and if you do the math, it comes out to something like $.05 cents/shave.

And my favorite shave soap is Colonel Conk, specifically their amber-scented soap, it's loaded with glycerin so it's slicker 'n eel shit , blade glides on my face, whips up into an excellent lather.

Oh, and I've been using the same Omega boar bristle soap brush for years

When I shave, I do the whole "first pass with the grain, lather up again and against the grain". Baby ass-smooth every time.

I've tried that razor and cut up my neck in the worst way...so I abandoned it.

I use a Schick Hydro 5 in this set up to get the line right around my beard/stubble...usually whatever shaving cream I can find...just bought some Woody's Shave Butter to try out but it really doesn't make a difference.

been using Harry's after shave lotion lately, I like it.

I've use Schick Hydro 5 for years but never knew until your post that you could flip back the lubricant edge.
 
Just a trimmer with no guard to keep it off the neck and line it up. Haven’t been clean shaven since high school, hopefully never will be again
 
I have a Manscaped Beard Hedger for my beard in the winter...it has a good amount of length adjustments...but is doesn't do a good job without the guard on it, cuts up my face.

so I havea Wahl Peanut for the spring and summer when I just have stubble.

I think Gillette has the single blade on the back of their Mach razor, but then I'd be flipping back and forth. The Schick is much more convenient.

oddly enough I always flip the lubricant edge back after every use even though I never use it
