There may be another person's comfort to consider - stubble can be painful if rubbed against sensitive regions. A wet shave is probably preferable before an intimate encounter.

Wearing a beard works, too.

That was my first answer as well. I bought a wet/dry razor after such an encounter.

But thinking further, I believe wet hair is both longer and softer, making for an easier and closer shave.

But I agree with the OP's general principle for a lot of other things. I apply the 80/20 rule for a lot of maintenance cleaning tasks.
