Dry shave before, or after shower?

[Harry Bloomfield]

I'm away with the caravan at the moment, so only electric shaver and shower - I hate dry shaving, it leaves my face raw for days. Normally I would get a shower, then get a shave and suffer. My thinking was - clean skin, so less infection of the skin? The last few times, I have shaved first, then showered - the rawness, seems to now last only for an hour or too.

Shave? Just grow a beard!

We have a dog - any beard growth seems to collect dog fur

Indeed. I only shave when the hair gets so long that it starts getting stuck in cardigan zips/etc. On average, I shave every 3.5 weeks.

On some decorators forum a while ago a woman asked, 'my entrance is very dark, how can I brighten it?', and some joker replied, 'try shaving it'.

Stop snogging the dog.

Or shave the dog.

I prefer to shave first, then any residue is washed away.

Also applies to wet shave.

But if you are in a caravan, and have water available, you could wet shave.

Wash your face.

I'm going to try the electric shaver while I'm in the shower, if it's the last thing I do.

Someone who is a pensioner has to ask weather to shave before or after showering???

You would of thought they would of worked it out by now!

My current Philishave is a wet and dry one that specifically states can be used in the shower.
I occasionally use it with shaving foam.

I tend to nick or cut myself if I ever resort to use of a 'proper' blade.

I'd say the technique is wrong if it is causing a rash. Go slower/gentler over the skin. Perhaps use a lotion, oil or moisturiser before or after?

I have a dry shave while taking my morning dump. Who says men can’t multi-task?

I use a Panasonic wet & dry razor. Shave dry, then shower, then wet face and put on shaving gel and shave again. Wouldn't shave any stubble with an electric shaver when wet.

I only wet shave, in the bath - I find it much easier..

I might try that, after checking first that it is as I remember - a wet and dry shaver.
