Re: The shaving thread
I use whatever cheap ---- they have onsale at the time I need new ones. ---- paying ~9 for a ------- razor I'm just going to throw away after a few uses. 
I had an electric one, but it seemed to miss spots all over the place and you still have to replace the blades in them, which costs about half of what the razor costs. 
$0.99 no-name razors for me. I shave with them until they make me bleed, then I use them a few more times and then throw them away.

in other words trim that monkey off of your face before attempting to use that good razor.
get a preshave oil like this one http://www.headshaver.org/reviews/sh...rhprepare.html
you could get the whole "prepare, shave, and soothe" kit that is out there but it is VERY expensive but worth it http://www.zirh.com/product.aspx?f=41
if you just used any preshave oil then shave as normal you would see a huge difference.
