Do you have any unusual wet shaving habits?

    The sink in my "man's" bathroom only gets used for shaving and I clean and dry it after every shave. If I want to wash my hands or brush my teeth I use the laundry room utility sink in the next room.
    I think that habit started a few years ago when we remodeled my bathroom and I didn't have a sink for awhile and was forced to use the utility sink. I probably stayed with the habit of washing my hands in the bigger sink since the bathroom sink is small and it's hard to scrub up to your elbows. Why I brush my teeth in the larger sink and not in the bathroom must have some subconscious reason that I've yet to identify.

    The only other weird thing that comes to mind is my habit of saving the boxes that my shaving products come in. I suppose that's like saving the cigar box after you've smoked all the cigars.

    During my post shave routine, I do BIG splashes of cold water on my face, so big I get water all over the countertop and onto the floor. I can't help it.

    RyX DoH!

    I shave at my kitchen sink.The extra deep double bowl sink gives me plenty of splashing room. It's the closest faucet to the water heater so hot water comes fast and full pressure. An older home, built in 1942, and the sink faces an interior wall. So I hung a mirror with a shelf behind the faucet. When I remodeled it several years ago I kept the period light fixture. A frosted glass cover now houses a very bright CFL bulb. One of the cabinets, over the microwave cart, has become my storage area for shaving supplies. Top of the cart is where I display my gear I'm currently using.
    Did I mention no SWMBO to tell me I'm doing it wrong?

    I watched a video of Williams Shaving Mug Soap, and halfway through it, the guy said "So far, I'm disappointed with this soap". Wrong guy for THAT video!!

    Barbasol. Still the best way to lather Williams.

    To the OP:

    All of my shaving is scheduled into monthly foci, photographed and logged for purposes of this forum.

    Halfway through the video? Well...some people are slower than others. Lol.

    My opinion of Williams' lack of redeeming qualities is well known. It does make a nice strop dressing for linen strops, though.

    Not the one I saw. But anyway, I'm getting some vibes here that it's a lucky thing I didn't call it the WILLIAMS Cavalcade of Sports...(chuk yuk)

    The vast majority opinion of those who have used a variety of shave soaps is that (current formulation) Williams is difficult to lather, and the lather produced is subpar, even at it's cheap price point, when compared to other soaps.

    If Williams returned to one of it's reformulated or original recipe, the older the better, and charged $5 a puck, there would be many on this forum who would rejoice. The vintage Williams soap is an excellent performer.

    What he said, water all over the place. One towel for my shave, another to clean up.
