Summary: How to shave with a safety razor
Take your time as you shave. Always shave with the grain of your hair, this is the direction the hairs grow so check your neck to see if it grows in the same direction as you face. The simplest method is to run your fingertip down your cheek prior to a shave, does it run smoothly? Now run your fingertip in the opposite direction, does it feel like sandpaper and make a scratchy sound? Shave in the direction that's smoothest, there is no need to press on just let the your razor's blade do the work.
Hold the razor like you would a fountain pen or table knife, The razor will feel weighty and balance nicely so that the blade is about 45 degrees to your face. Use your spare hand and facial muscles to hold your face gently taut creating a flat surface for the blade to glide over. Take slow, short strokes first to build confidence, rinsing your razor in the sink after each stroke. Once you feel confident and you want that smooth as baby's bum close shave then re-lather and shave lightly across or against the grain. You simply won't get a smoother closer shave than this.
