Thread: Music and shaving.... An interesting mix...

Ok, I'll bite, usually Prince or Classical. But I must warn you, use cation when listening to Shawn or Mark Levin.

I like playing my bass while shaving, its hard to keep rhythm though

Electro Swing is the music for STR8 shave.
I like it so much that I've grow the pencil 'stashes but my wife ask to shave it out. Well, I'm not Mr.Gable.

Hey it's only a few weeks to November, you will have a perfect excuse to grow a mo.
Ok I just realised it's about 4 weeks.

About half the time I listen to music as part of the morning shave, usually something relaxing, lately it's been George Winstons "Winter". Like others have said sometimes I prefer the quiet as well.

Buck Owens usually follows me around, playing from my phone - to my wife's dismay. Buy during the week it's silence cause everyone's asleep.

Yep, usually something playing in the background. Often symphonic/orchestral, a few favourites:

- Prokoviev's 2nd
- Any Bruckner symphony (mostly 7th)
- Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony
- Dvorak's 9th From the New World
- 'Russian Overtures', The Russian National Orchestra, dir. Mikhail Pletnev (one of my favourite albums in general)
- Any Beethoven Symphony (mostly the uneven ones for some reason)

But on occasion I also play some metal (mainly Swedish Old School Death - think Vomitory, Entombed, Grave), Ministry, Johnny Cash (the old stuff), bluegrass...anything really. Just nothing calm and quiet (apart from Cash), I don't want to fall asleep shaving.

Although lately I've been listening to some more laid-back stuff, mainly Bert Kaemfert and His Orchestra (Swingin' Safari, anyone?), Dean Martin and the more upbeat Harry Belafonte stuff.

JimBC, nice to see someone else couple Prince with Classical music. I have long admired his orchestration of his music.

I listen almost totally to classical music almost all day and night. I am fortunate to live in an area that has one off, if not, the best non-profit classical music station around. No commercials, mainly supported by it's listeners. Also on line world wide and they do have listeners in almost every place on earth. Call letters KQAC (local 89.9 FM), on line at All Classical Portland | All Classical 89.9 KQAC FM Portland, Oregon, 88.1 KQOC FM Gleneden Beach, 90.1 KQHR FM Hood River, 88.1 KQDL FM The Dalles Classical Radio for Northwest Oregon, Southwest Washington and the world.. Try them, music for all tastes with in the classical genre, and a few others on the weekends.

Classical on WETA here in DC, turn it off for the top of the hour propaganda, er, news though...

'In My Time Of Dyin' or 'Kashmir' by Led Zeppelin...........
