I agree with sipsake. The best way to shave is with shaving soap and a good quality shaving brush. Also, make sure to soak your face with really hot water. This softens the hair. I struggled with shaving until I used this method. I can't believe how martketing affects us so much. Everybody I know uses these new shaving gels and then complains about how bad it is. Try
