Thread: Forgot how to shave

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Towards the end of my 3rd pass on Monday (I use 2 on a normal day, and 3 on a special day when I want to be BBS) my razor all of a suddent felt like a 2x4 in my hand. I felt that I had no control and just put it down, rinsed off, put on my aftershave, and used a cold towel.

This has never happened to me before. It's like my muscle memory totally disappeared.

BTW, Tuesday and Wednesday's shaves were fine.

happened me once when i was cyclling to work & then i realised i was on my unicycle
sometimes your mind can be elsewhere & not on the job inhand

Better watch out. That's what happened to old Homer La Fong. maybe your razor is haunted.

It was the strangest thing. Ever since then I have been fine. It's like my hands just became hunks of steak with no dexterity. Well, everything is fine now.

On another note I am excited because I am putting together a SR travel kit - mug, shaving cream, styptic gel, another brush, a small strop, etc.... and the packages are finally arriving. I'll have to put one of my brushes in before I leave the house as I can't justify spending the money on a SR that just sits around.

I got some Muehle sandalwood shaving cream, as I usually use Muehle shaving soap that I melt into a special container, and the smell is great. It sorta smells like the men's cologne Curve if that helps.

Sounds a bit like a "duh" moment.

I get them sometimes! The other day I was wondering around the flat looking for my socks when my other half pointed out to me that I had them in my hand.

Sometimes the brain just goes off to la-la land on its own. What can you say? It works hard and sometimes it wants some time off...! :-)

Unfortunately it wont file a holiday request, it just deserts you whenever it feels like it..! And if that moment happens to be when you have a razor sharp... err... razor in your hand, its never the best..!

Glad things are back to normal!
