What products do you use? I'm just experimenting with different ones right now trying to find the best one.

Right now I use..

Neutrogena for Men face wash, shave gel & aftershave lotion
Gillette Fusion Power razor

but those are so irritating! I want the smoothest, closest shave without leaving my skin all red and irritated looking. I love the Fusion razors because the 5 blades are great but just a little too much, and the 3 blades don't seem like enough so I'm thinking of trying the Schick Quattro Power.. and maybe shaving products designed for Sensitive Skin too.

I think they have sensitive skin razors too don't they? I'll try those too.. I just got a mirror in my shower, it's soo much easier shaving now so I plan on doing it on a daily basis so I want to be as gentle as possible

do you shave with or against the grain?

i use clarins for men exfoliant and face wash and loreals mens expert shaving gel, either with a mach 3 razor or a philishave cool skin (depending on how much in a hurry i am). afterwards i use a good moisterizer (also from clarins).

I shave first with and then it's just NOT SMOOTH ENOUGH so I have to shave against.
