Nope, you're not alone. I don't remember the last time I bought shaving cream. Just wet my face, wet the razor and go to town.

I just use soap on my face and head while I shower. Shaving cream is only really worth it if you're using a scuttle and badger brush.

It's also worth it if your skin is... I can't think of good terminology here, loose though. Which causes any kind of razor to create increased drag, it helps cut razor burn. This is my situation. I typically use gillette gels.

I used to dry/wet shave in high school, but I get some hardcore razor burn on the lower part of my neck if I don't use a decent cream/gel now.

Try dry-shaving your not-face.

I use an electric to do the high-level weed-whacking (which is required at the 28 hour mark since last blade shave), then do cleanup in the shower with a blade using whatever shampoo I have that week.

Dr. Bronner's is a legend, and not a parody: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Bronner

The newer stuff is weaker than it used to be, but nothing beats using the peppermint soap in an outside shower or with cold water. A camping staple, but also good for a weekly refresher.

<man> I just straight up shave.  No prep at all, not even water.  Every morning. </man>

I'd like to posit that you're shaving something closer to peach fuzz rather than a steel wool off your face.

Anything I shave, I shave dry using an electric razor.

I follow that up with facial wash and then alcohol based aftershave.

Question for EE's or anyone who knows VHDL:

How do I code a clock signal in VHDL using Quartus 2?  I need to finish this stopwatch program, and I dont want to hook up the DE1 board to a Waveform Generator.  I  looked online for solutions, but none of them told me a code that I understood fully.

RE: the keeping clean and smelling nice question,
Clean:
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Shine Control face wash (green bottle, its caffeinated face wash)
been experimenting with Axe's face wash, not sure if like.
Axe Armor anti-dandruff shampoo
Axe Phoenix bodywash
Axe scrubby thinger

Smelling nice:
Axe Phoenix solid deoderant & anti-perspirant, applied liberally
Axe Clix spray deoderant, used sparingly

Having properly coiffed hair:
Axe Messy Look paste (comes in a tub) OR
Axe Hold+Touch paste (comes in a tube)

Yes, I use Axe, no, I don't care that you're judging me for it. I used to use a hodgepodge of products that were more difficult to replenish (different stores in different regions of the country carry different brands, sigh), and I smelled just as good with those as I did with Axe, but now my shit's easier to find.

For shaving my face, I just use a clipper on the closest setting with no guard (leaves scruff, doesn't irritate my skin like shaving every day used to). When I need to moisturize my face, I use Axe's post-shave lotion, although I'm almost positive its identical to unscented Lubriderm, although it's a smidge less oily.

For shaving my not-face, I use a Fusion Proglide Power razer with some Fusion Sensitive Skin shave gel. Followed up with some Aveeno sensitive skin (unscented) moisturizer, because having itchy not-face bits sucks.

I wish I could help, but I went general EE and ended up being forced to skip the VHDL class in favor of a (incidentally much more useful for me in the long run) Electromechanics & Control Systems classes.

I scrap my face off damn near every day. 

I use a Gillette fusion, with the fusion sensitive skin gel, and nivea aftershave balm. 

I used to use Axe phoenix, just like At0m.  It was the Army's fault.  But then I graduated out of my douchebag phase.  Now I'm using whatever crazy shit old spice is cycling through at the time.  So I guess that means I graduated to super mega douchebag. 

Generic, does this help?

just use barbasol and a 2 blade super cheapo razor. I dont own an electric and have never used one on my face.

Then again shaving for me is like cutting steel wool sometimes. 
But really for shaving all you need is a little lube. And in some cases not at all if your just shaving off your 5 o'clock each day

Also does anyone here switch hands while shaving the left and right halves of their face?
