I just shave with my contacts in

I shave with my glasses on, no problem. I just reach under the temples to stretch my skin. I've left sideburns on and shaved them off, it's no biggie since whatever I miss I can easily get by moving the glasses a bit when I do my touch ups.

I'm having PRK done today, so we'll see what it's like to shave without glasses soon enough. Fingers crossed I don't have to learn how to shave blind.

so i shaved this morning with my sunglasses on.. everything went smooth till i nicked the business out of my trouble area... the very bottom edge of the left side of my throat... its like a giant cowlick that grows in every which direction.. i could blame this on the sunglasses.. but i would feel more comfortable blaming it on the poor lather i tried from the body shop.

I've worn glasses since I was 10, but never shaved with them on. As an aside, my eyesight is actually getting better with age. My eye doctor said it's either from not using them all the time or from drinking too much coffee. Seriously.

I have contacts but usually wear glasses when I shave. I found that when I stretch my sideburns up I lift the earpiece up at the same time to get it out of the way. Once I get that small section that's all I really have to do to get around the glasses.

BTW, I have progressive lenses, so I can get as close or as far away as I want.

20/300 in my left eye; 20/400 in my right. Could not shave without my glasses on. However, trying to shave with bifocals really s****d. Had to dig out an old pair of single vision glasses from 21 years ago.

Lenses (eye pieces) get in the way when I do my cheeks (toward my nose) but I manage with it.
Namaste,
Morty -_-

Too much coffee? Wow I should be 20/20 as I consume WAY too much coffee.

I think that straight shaving, once you are good at it, would be one of the things that you could do with your eyes closed. Having said that I do not want to be the first to try it - how about some of you who have been using the straight for a lot longer than me any thoughts?
