i used to shave my ex all the time, not a D/s thing, just one of those wierd couple things we had. In my experience, shaving him in the shower, with all the steam and everything, was the best place to do it. But i'd imagine putting a warm, wet towel on his face for a couple minutes first would achieve the same effect. Use lots of shaving cream, use short strokes, and rinse off the blade in hot water after every 2nd or 3rd stroke. As for the direction, kind of depends on how coarse his hair is. Always start in the direction of the hair growth, if his hair's relatively fine, that should be enough. If he's like my ex, with super thick, super coarse hair, that's not gonna cut it for a totally smooth shave. After you've completely shaved him, in the direction of the hair growth, rinse or wipe off his face with a warm, wet cloth, re-lather him up with shaving cream, and shave him again, this time going against the grain of the hair, very gently and again with short little strokes. Make sure to watch out for any pimples or moles, cuz trust me, you don't wanna take those off with a razor. Eep! Have him tilt his head away from the side you're shaving, to keep the skin taut. Careful near the Adam's Apple, especially if he's got one of those pokey ones (i always made him do that part himself lol). Really, it's not much different from shaving your legs, just think of his whole face like you would when you're trying to get that little spot behind your knee without maiming yourself lol. Have fun :-)

• When I first started shaving him (mostly I do his head these days) I used a dab of Alum on my fingers. (the stuff that steptic stick is made from but you get it in the spice section of your grocery store). This allowed me to stretch areas of the skin taunt without slipping.
  
• Start with a moist blade. I soak our Mach3 in the sink for 5 minutes before shaving.
• Rinse the blade often. Use a nail brush to remove hairs.
• Qood quality shaving cream or shaving soap is important.
