    I`d say take your time and do not rush, make the shave as slowly as possible, for me, this is the most important thing for a good shave.

    A good shave is the sum of all parts. Everything matters in my opinion.

    I would have to agree. I need to do my specific set up steps in order to achieve a good shave.

    I once tried shaving without a cream and boy, did I regret it. I ended up with 2 small cuts at the top and side of my lip.

    I need to do my facial wash first and massage with a good lather before everything is set. I would probably think twice and postpone it if I would not be able to pull the steps off.

    But, with poor prep, a dull blade, or a poor quality razor, you will be trying to compensate for all of these shortcomings, not allowing you to practice proper technique.

    A steamy hot shower before the shave.
