    As long as you don't wave that razor around like some philharmonic conductor!

    This goes well with some coffee and an early morning shave;

    Yes, quite often, normally during my Sunday bedroom shave at my shave stand. Generally my shaving music is jazz, classical or Brazilian lounge music or something like that. Sometimes it's not music at all but an audio book, Ecclesiastes, or Song of Solomon or something like Leaves of Grass by Whitman.

    I'm assuming the electric razor sound emanates from your room mate's electrified shaving machine...

    When I have a Sunday daytime shave, I usually listen to something, but as I don't work nights at the moment it hasnt happened for a while, it varies from flaming lips, to leonard Cohen, to Dresden dolls to pulp. Well they are the ones I remember.

    Well, for those of you wondering about electric razor... Anyway, I'll also put on some klezmer music if I'm not in the mood for Bach.

    For me, especially since my prep usually involves a nice shower beforehand, I turn on the Louis Armstrong station on Pandora... The man himself, plus Ol' Blue Eyes (Sinatra), Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Chuck Berry, etc., etc.

    Not my usual forte, but just relaxing while shaving. Usually, I'm more Rock, Blues, Electronic, etc. but I somehow think I'd end up carving my face like a turkey if I was listening to my norm while shaving.

    I listen to music during my Saturday morning shave, when I can take my sweet time and don't have to worry about waking up the kids or wife. I enjoy listening to some merengue, salsa, or bachata from a Miami radio station on the I Heart Radio app.
