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!

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.
I'm not allowed in that one... *sniffle*Quote:

Learned a long time ago... You don't drive; you don't shave; and you don't call people on the phone.

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....
See i was thinking this as well but i don't drink while shaving b/c i don't want to spill my drink!! THAT'S alcohol abuse!!!!Quote:

You're not alone. My routine now is a nice pipe in evening, along with a scotch or perhaps a rum cocktail. Then once my pipe and drink are done a nice relaxing shave before bed.Quote:

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

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.
I have one razor for both of me :)Quote:

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 just close an eye when seeing double and it's back to normal again. I have never let fear and common sense hold me back before and ain't starting now! Mind you, life would be easier if this were different....Quote:
