Step 8:
Experiment with the eco-shave--a conservation-minded approach

Don't leave the water running while you shave. It wastes water, adds to your heating bill, and you never know when the water temperature will suddenly change. Fill up the sink instead. If your sink plug leaks and won't hold a sinkful of water, despair not. An inexpensive rubber sink stopper (available at hardware stores) solves that problem--take one when you travel, too.

The moist heat will soften the whiskers and make your skin supple, which will reduce razor burn. Hold the washcloth there for a couple of minutes, while you think about what to have for breakfast or what to wear to work. Relax! Step 3
