How often do you shave? How long does it take you? How do you do it?

Just curious as it feels like a chore for me. I usually do a with the grain shave with a safety razor and no product since I don’t have a lot of time and that gives the least irritation, but it’s not a close shave. I see guys that get stupid close shaves and I often wonder how much time they spend on it.

I use a Braun series 9 on my head, at most every other day but often leave it for 3 or 4 days. I also use a safety razor with just hot water to cut a straight line at the top of my sideburns.

I've used a safety razor on both my head and face. I found the best way to get a really close shave was to tense the skin to get it as flat as possible in patches then shave that. Do a first pass with shaving butter and then go over it again with just hot water in slow long strokes until you feel your skin smoothen.

I have sensitive skin and the second pass would cause some irritation but using a good moisturiser (I use CeraVe) after helped a lot.
