Thread: The most efficient shave?

I'm currently aiming to make my shaving as efficient (and comfortable) as possible.

What I mean by this is efficiency in:

• time
• use of water
• use of soap / cream
• use of bathroom space / stuff

This doesn't mean I'm aiming for a quick nasty shave,
rather a clean, uncluttered and comfortable shave - simplicity perhaps.

If interested in my routine - read on, otherwise skip to the end!

My current routine:

• -warm water in cup (so it won't get heat shock with boiling water)
• boil kettle (and make my lunch for work while it boils)
• boiled water in my cup - stick in brush
• boiled water in bowl (cup goes in)
• have shower
• dry off and apply hot cloth to face (boiled water)
• lather on face (shave stick)
• strop
• hot cloth
• re-lather and shave

I do 2 passes (Wtg-Xtg, Atg-Xtg) with touch ups
I wipe blade on wet cloth and rinse with boiled water as needed.
Brush stays passably warm for 2nd pass or I can add more water.

I use way less water than I used to - maybe 5 -6 cups.

I'm looking at simplifying it more.

Anyone else go for an efficient shave?

All the best,
Michael
