But yeah, I'd like to hear from you what you've found to be the proper technique. Because I use the same technique with BIC disposables as I do with my Mach3, and the same cream, and I get way more cuts and nicks when using BICs that have barely been used. [quote]

Basically its to do with good soap and learning the curves of your face. Shaving a couple of beard reducing passes instead of beard elimination passes. What i do is shave 4 passes, 1 with the grain, two across the grain and one clean up pass. I never shave against the grain.

Theres your probelm there bro, you need a good quality cream I used Proraso its italian, its super concentrated so you use a little to get a good amount of lather, i also use a badger hair brush to get the lather up.

I shave this way initially to egt a comfy shave as my Mach3 was ripping me apart, but now i do it because it saves me at least $20 in blades.

Visit this guys blog Mantic59's Shaving Blog

I think Infamous Brown pointed me out to his vids..i went from there....seriously bro I get nick free, comfy irritation free shaves everytime. I also now get Baby Butt Smooth shaves too.
