What's my definition of a Hybrid Shave? I do most of my face with a straight razor, but do a few spots with double edge safety razor. This is my daily routine on most work days. If I'm in a time crunch I will do a DE only shave. On weekends when I have time I'll do a full face 100% straight razor shave. My hybrid shave goes like this: cheeks WTG, XTG straight, chin WTG, XTG straight, uppper lip WTG, XTG straight, neck WTG, ATG straight, neck XTG DE, cheeks ATG straight, chin ATG DE, upper lip ATG DE. I find I get excellent results and save time depending on the day, razor and soap/lather and my mental alertness. I currently have 24 straight razors in my rotation using a different one each day. I mostly use Edwin Jagger DE, but on occasion use vintage Gillette Fat Boy or some other vintage DE. With my hybrid method, my DE blades last 1-2 months on average. Not sure where to post, but put it here as it's "mostly" shaving with a straight razor and only partially shaving with DE. Is this considered cheating? I don't know but it works for me. I have only been able to get totally BBS on my neck area a few times with a straight int the past 4 years with great effort because of crazy direction of hairs on my neck. Usually to get BBS on neck with str8, I end up with razor rash to some degree. I keep trying but usually touch up with DE even on weekends.
