Shave or shower first?

Me, too. Though I don't think of it as finishing the shower. I would describe it as shower 2nd, shave 3rd, shower again 4th.
I was always a shower first guy, then shave. I am not a morning s##ter.
However, recently, I found that a rub around with warm water on my face, from my hands, then shaving and finally showering, leaves my skin feeling better. Reason being that I like a long hot shower which probably makes my face very soft and liable to get more damaged by shaving. Better is a good long shower after shaving to clean up my skin.

Just remember to use paper and not your razor!!!!
I'm a bathtub guy first thing in the morning and shave before bed. The other thing mentioned when nature calls.
Hot shower in the morning. Cold water shave in the evening. Sh**t during the day.
Is it me or are we getting a little to comfortable here? I mean we have gone beyond shaving habits.
I am with Mike. I seem to say that a lot. He must be a man of incredible intellect and handsome, rugged good looks!
You have to take care of business first then shower to soften the whiskers and then shave on! After all, it is all about that shave! 😄 Tim
I'm a woodworker so I shave and shower in the evenings. I always shower first then shave.
The shower does a great job at prepping my face for shaving. I find the shave is a lot more rough if I didn't shower. Plus I don't think you get anymore clean by showing after since your lather is soap anyway just rinse it off and it's the same as washing your face lol.

I am not a morning person so for me shave is replaced with "sleep". I shave in the evenings and to replace the shower I start with a hot towel on my face for a few minutes to soften things up. I find shaving in the evening has given me something to look forward to, selecting the recipe for the days shave. Also it is very relaxing and helps wind down a bit from a busy day.
+1. So I usually shave before showering.
I always shower first. Not for any real practical purposes, there's just a feeling of "washing away" the shave somehow if I shower after, and I like to wear it for a while.
Shave first every time. Shower washes off whatever soap residue there is, plus helps stop any nicks or weepers if I have them.
Oh yeah I've been shaving in it since joining the Forum and reading about cold water shaving.
Have I been doing it wrong?
