For the record, I use Gillette Mach 3, and have verey few problems, and I have the most senstivie skin going - I get a heat rash in a hot bath!
To preprare, run a flannel under the hot water, as hot as you can stand it. Immerse the flannel, and then hold it over the favce, pressing onto the cheeks and under the chin. Repeat and hold as long as you can stand it.
Then lather up with a good 'sensitive' shaving gel and take your time. massange the lather in for at least a minute.
Shave with slow dlownward strokes, rinsing feaquenty in fresh hot water. Do not shave against the direction of growth. Take your time, and let the blade glide, do not press on hard.
Follow this routine and you will have a smooth shave with almost no - if any - cuts.
When you have finished, dab the face with tepid water, and apply moisturiser.
If you want to wear aftershave / cologne, apply it to your forehead and the areas behind your ears - same nice smell, no stinging.
I wouldn;t worry too muchy about these 'battery' wet shaves, the blades cost a fortune, and as i say, it's the technique that makes a good shave.

I used to shave my ex in the bath. He had a Mach 3. It doesn't work as smoothly as the adverts seem to suggest.
He had some faults, but he didn't used to moan too much when I cut him (frequently).
I always used to get out of the bath and stand in the shower, cos I didn't want all his whiskers drying all over me.

You know I used to use a mach 3 but then I switched to using Tesco's own brand tripple blde rasors.
I actually find them better than Gilette and the others I've tried - they cost a fraction of the price and you get to laugh at all the patronising shavor adds on the TV and wonder how much they're paying Beckam and all the other celebrity endorsers.
Rather obviously they're trying to pickup first time shavers and hope to keep them young.
Because obviously the key to success with women is exactly how soft your chin is - yeah right!

I dislike multiple blades. I think they're designed to keep the price high. Single blades are much better, particularly for trimming upto an edge. (I keep a trimmed beard.) Initial preparation is the thing; lather well. Contrary to most advice, because I have a particularly tough beard, I find it necessary to shave against the normal lie of the hair to get a really close shave.
