Thread: dont get distracted...

MikeA

I think you brought up a very good point. In the beginning you are nervous enough you really don't need any distractions, not that you need them later either. At least later on you can handle them better because of increased confidence in what you are doing.

When I had words with my wife over distracting me while shaving she wondered what the big deal was. Seems when she was a youngster she watched her grandfather shave with a straight every morning in the kitchen with all the other normal goings on happening at the same time. I told her to bug me when I too had 40+ years experience/confidence in shaving with a straight. Makes a big difference.

Aslo dont shave in the shower, don't strop naked, don't shave after 4 red bulls. And for goodness sake give us a pic or it didn't happen.

Lol, ill post a pic later on, its starting to heal, but its still there.

Ah yes, a quiet morning with a straight razor...

The wife asking your opinion about makeup/clothes/shoes, the kids begging for attention while tugging at the shirttail/arms/legs, the dogs fighting underneath the feet, the weatherman saying a major storm is 30 mins away as the phone constantly rings with the carpoolers wondering what's going on....

You must learn focus, young weed-hopper.

j/k, the wife understands that shaving is "my time" and holds the chaos at bay until I'm done.

Situations like this have prompted my future integration of access control on my new to be shave den!

Wife's not happy about it lol but there's not allot she can do

I let everyone know I am shaving and to NOT make any loud noises or come "flying" into the bathroom.
I kinda like the way my face looks WITHOUT the big scar on it.

Too late! You should have told me this 25 years ago! I have a nice scar just under my chin that I usually keep hidden with a goatee. Kinda sucks starting out living in an efficiency apt where the bathroom is the size of a fridge. Too easy for your significant other to jostle you while shaving. Got several stitches for my troubles. Of course, the story grows with every telling. Now it's up to "So there I was, surrounded by a hundred of the most evil, foul smelling bikers that ever lived, howling for my blood in a bar so vile the Devil himself wouldn't set foot in it...." Sure beats "Yah, the Old Lady bumped my arm while shaving and had to be taken to the ER to get stitches."

So, you're saying your missus is an evil, foul smelling biker?! Is that it?!

And never, ever try to shave in a bar full of vile bikers.

That's right...Make sure they're nice bikers like me!
