I used to have a habit of drunk shaving, back when I was a cartridge guy. But I just learned that it may not be an awesome plan with a straight. Noobs beware!

Good advice there. I'll have to remember that. Uh-huh. Yup.
Um, not to sound like your dad or anything.... "Drunk and sharp do not mix." of course,i was 18 when i learned that still have the divot under my chin.
It's difficult to stretch the skin properly, with a glass in your hand.
Well, we have a whole thread of things not to do while shaving.
And drinking is in there...
One of the main reasons why you shouldn't shave drunk is that blood is corosive.
I wont shave while drinking....not because I'm afraid of a cut. Cuts heal.
I'm afraid I'm gonna pang the razor of the tap....Steel doesn't heel. Big chips or cracks = no fun.
allow me to add don't shave after going to the gym to that one. shaving with mini shakes is rubbish. End of.
Amateur....haha, joking. I need all the focus I can get.
Learned a long time ago... You don't drive; you don't shave; and you don't call people on the phone.
Drink and then shave? Only in the movies.
Many years ago whilst a little tipsy, I decided to shave before going to bed so I could sleep a little longer in the morning. I got so close to the mirror that I dug the razor into my chin. Still have the divot :deadhorse:
Definitely not a good idea :nono:
It just takes practice....
I feel alone.
In my opinion a cold beer or a wee dram of fine single malt while shaving is truly one of the finer things in life...
I never drink and shave-- but I do usually get pretty lubed when I hone, I think it lightens up my stroke :beer2:
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.
As they say: Alcohol dulls the senses, in a dull man...
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.
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.
Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself...
"In vino veritas"
Now before we take this thread too far off track. Lots of Tombstone quotes here ;)

Drink and then shave - hard core :beer1:
"Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation." Benjamin Franklin
How do you keep from swallowing lather while tipping the glass?
For that problem I keep my Fatboy at hand armed with a feather adjusted to 9. Close and cutfree shave possible.
Darwinism in action. I cringed when I saw this video.

You mean everyone doesnt shave like that? I mean I use wild turkey 101 and Mickeys 40's but same concept....
I thought twin blades were for when you were seeing double?
