I first use a beard trimmer, and then lightly use the
face of the shaver to go closer. I follow this with spraying my
face/neck with cold water from a shower head, dry it, wait 5minutes, then apply moisturiser(Elave for face, Vaseline for lips) & allow at least 30minutes for this to be absorbed before drying off excess grease.
However, I recently thought I would try wet shaving, just to see. I only shaved with the grain, not against.
