Never Shave With a Straight....

Never shave with a straight right after you finish day one of a new workout routine.
Fortunately, God gave me the good sense of a common houseplant and a fairly large lazy streak. As I stood there, noodle armed, thinking stropping sounded like a lot of work, it occurred to me: "This may not be the wisest time to place a sharp piece of steel on my face."
So, I have a bit more to shave tomorrow BEFORE I workout.

I never work out. Good tip though! lol! You could lose wanted pounds, a pound of flesh.

I never shave on days I work out. I shave every second day.

Sweat on a fresh shave burns me bad. no bueno

Does, "Hotter than a two dollar pistol" ring any bells?

Wow! We have something else in common. I never work out on a day I shave. I shave everyday. :)

And that, my fine friend is why you are still around to talk about it.

When I used to go to the gym I always had a shave after the workout. The shave is a way to wind down after a good workout. Just have to take your time when you get the shakes from trying to lift too much.

ndw: I think I'll need to work up to that.

To shave your beard or shave off a few pounds? That is the question.

It may sound like blasphemy, but it's a good thing to keep a Mach 400 or a DE around....for those times when you've got noodle arms, or after a particularly amazing Friday night when you have noodle body and are dry heaving at 3pm on Saturday afternoon. Call me crazy, but I have to shave on those days too, and when I'm sick. To me, it's the final step in feeling clean.

Best to be relaxed when straight shaving.

I agree with that Maxi. There seems to be something about shaving that makes a man feel complete and on top of things. I always feel so much better after a shave, and always feel a bit brighter after a shave when I'm crook as the proverbial dog (regardless of cause).
