    hah!

    My experience, as taught to me by a former navy barber....

    1. soak towel in hot water + a bit of Dr Bronner's Peppermint Soap
    2. sit down, drape towel over your face
    3. wait a while, meditate, mellow out,listen to dark side of the moon,etc...
    4. shave with ALMOST ANYTHING sharper than a butter knife

    It's all in the prep, not the razor..... unless you're an ADHD maniac in a hurry trying to get to a horrible commute to a cube job on time...

    * going swimming first or taking a long hot bath may substitute for the hot wet towel....
