Do you have any unusual wet shaving habits?

Agree were a mess.

 

I do a lot of these things too, especially 2, 5, and 7. Both number 8 and the converse apply to me as well - a bad shave ruins the entire day but a great shave puts me on cloud nine.

Since I shave before I shower, I have an unusual practice. After shaving, I hop in the shower and once I'm done, only then do I apply the aftershave. When I was using cheap drug store stuff like Aqua Velva, I used to put it on before showering since I didn't care if it washed away but now that I use nicer aftershaves with spectacular scents, I want to reap the full benefits. It doesn't feel right having such a huge gap between shaving and applying aftershave but I'm getting used to it.

 

Believe it or not there is an "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Anonymous" organization - along the lines of Alcoholics Anonymous. Maybe we should apply for a group discount. Then we could all introduce ourselves by saying: "Hello - my name is xxxx and I am a wet shaver".

 

I do NOT have a disor (tic) disor (tic) disor (tic) disorder!

I make up little songs about my AS's while applying. Yes I sing them out loud. My wife never needs to guess what AS I have on

After lathering, I wipe my lips with my towel. Why? My dad used to do that, like my granddad, and I adopted that custom. Now I do not want to change it anymore.

 

Well, I do (a pretty mild one, in general) and it is no fun.

 

OCD Anonymous? I'm scared to think what the pressure to do "30 in 30" must feel like.

 

I have enjoyed reading everyone's unusual shaving habits...though I must admit, they all sound pretty normal to me.

 

I want to go to CDO Anonymous. I prefer it in alphabetical order.

 

What could go wrong? Sounds fine to me!

 

I am an early riser courtesy of the military and a stint in a Soto Zen monastery. I wake up and take my blood pressure medications followed by a shower. While my brush is soaking I make english tea or hawaiian Kona coffee and select appropriate music; Hildegaard Von Bingen, A morning raga by Ravi Shankar etc. I wear my old black linen juban from the Zendo and shave from last night's selections. I am in a tiny apartment and even my humble collection resides largely in my seachest. Shave accompli' I take a quick cold rinse back in the shower and then splash aftershave and step outside to greet the dawn on my patio. then I dress and make breakfast, turn on my revolutionary radio station and breathe AS deeply as nosegay to the bad news.

 

I tried attending, but the lines were too long at the restroom.

 

I rarely use a blade more than once.

 

I was just wondering; has the fear of losing our shaving experience facing incarceration detered any criminal activity?

 

I can honestly say that all the nights I have spent hatching plots and daydreaming about future criminal enterprises, losing my wet shaving privileges has never once entered my mind.

Now that you have brought it up though, I am going to clean up my act.
