I was cursed with my father's thick beard, so shaving is a must. If I grew it out, it would be an impenetrable afro on my face.
Because it's so wiry and thick, I've experimented with every method of shaving known to man. Best results come from shaving in the shower by touch. What I've found is that it's all about how wet you can get and keep your face while you're doing the deed.
Obviously, the only drawback is I can't see what I'm doing. So I avoid the final trims by the sideburns and such until I'm out of the shower. But trust me, if you've got a problem beard, this is the way to do it.
[edit]
Lovely come-back about asking the ladies to shave in turn, BTW. But then, a lot of women would take you up on that one ...
