Shaving in the shower

Post by francovendee »

Speaking to a friend I was surprised to hear he shaves (face :D ) when showering. My son has always done this but I thought he was a rarity.
I can't shave properly unless looking in a mirror, so another reason I'd not want to shave in the shower.

Are they savages?

Such acts of Ruritanian barbarity should attract stiff punishments. Perhaps apply for an ASBO?

Yup, I always shave in the shower. I never use any fancy shaving foam, just get a lather on a bar of soap - wipe on, scrape off. Never needed a mirror either.

Face like a baby's bot'... :lol:

Disgusting practice and should be punished with a specific punishment of not an ASBO but ASBS(AutomaticShavingBan in Shower) these perverts would then be immediately recognised on the street by the beard they're tripping over!

Waddabout legs?
Shaving legs in the shower is perfectly normal and acceptable practice :D

You have a problem there.... .....though if it did you'd solve that one it'd create a more serious and shocking one methinks,wet shave OTOH could be a solution :)

What, you walk around all day with a nappy for a beard?

Ive only done this once under duress. Was about to have a stent fitted via my groin. Issued with a razor to shave my nether regions in the shower. :lol:
Op was cancelled in favour of more tests just before I was wheeled into the operating theatre. :D.
BTW the stubble was uncomfortable for a few weeks after. :lol:

They said to me you can either do it yourself or we'll do it for you, so I decided doing it myself would avoid embarrassment, but on the day they didn't ask whether I'd done it or not, which left me with the impression they wouldn't have bothered if I hadn't. I misconcieved the loaction of the vein though, and barely shaved the right place.

Itchy, or what!
