I use Merkur shaver with Cremo cream. Here’s my process:

turn faucet on until hot water running. Wet face. Apply cream. Shave. Rinse and dry

It literally isn’t different from shaving with a cartridge except a better shave, more pleasant, and cheaper. OK, it probably takes 10 seconds extra to change the blade vs popping cartridge, but that’s it

I shaved with an electric for a couple years, bad shaves and bad skin
