    I never drink and shave-- but I do usually get pretty lubed when I hone, I think it lightens up my stroke

    i usually have one right AFTER the shave to reward myself for not dying! although there have been times (many actually) i have the nip before the shave.

    There is something about a glass of homemade hard cider and then a shave in the late afternoon. It can and does turn a mans day around.

    Yup, good odds that edge now has rust on it.

    Definitely not alone. It's not uncommon for a beer or a bourbon & ginger to sit on the bathroom counter while I shave either. It's fine nowadays, but I never would have done that in the beginning.

    drive then drink,
    shave then drink,
    sex then smoke.

    As a bonus: if your blood alcohol level is high enough, the wound will disinfect itself.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    as long as your not seeing double and can keep one eye open you can shave...may not be pretty, but it makes for a hell of a story when they ask how you lost your nose.
