In the shower is only acceptable answer

Before so I can wash the wounds.

Always after here, but with cold water for the shave.

I've always used an electric shaver once over 'before' I hop in the shower and use a blade to refine in the shower. I notice the blades last 10 times longer and my shave is easier and smoother.

 

[BCClone]

If those are your two choices.

After. Beard is wet. Easier to shave.

I either do it before or in the shower. But I only shave every few weeks, so I have a bunch of loose hairs that I need to wash off.

Always trim with the #2 guard before shower.

Only while forgetting kids at school or soccer practice.

 

[AgronAlum]

Before for sure.

Skin bumps up if I do it after. I can also wash off the hairs and cream.

Always before or during. After is a mess!

Always after. Warmth and moisture from shower soften facial hair allowing for an easier shave that is more gentle on your skin. Invest in a good shaving cream that moisturizes skin and facilitates an easy glide for your razor. Do not use aftershave. Most contain alcohol which dehydrates your skin. Your face will go into overdrive producing natural oils and you’ll have the post shave shine all day. Invest in a good face cream that will hydrate and absorb without leaving a greasy residue.

Used to do before but now do after. No idea why.

Holy sh*t dude. You know your skincare.

Be a man, grow a beard.

In the morning if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1,000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water-activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub.

Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturiser, then an anti-ageing eye balm followed by a final moisturising protective lotion
