What, if anything, do you like to listen to while shaving?
Let me start off by explaining that I'm almost always listening to music. Music is a huge part of my life. I've loved it with a passion before I was old enough to walk and I've been playing instruments since my hands were big enough to hold them. I don't care what it is, if it's creative and different, and serious thought and passion were put into its creation, I'll happily listen to it (which is why I have no patience for the top 40 pop/hip-hop pablum that record companies try to spoon-feed to the masses). But before I start ranting about the complete lack of thought and originality in popular music :rant: I'll get on with my post. At this point, I've successfully managed to integrate music into almost every facet of my daily existence. Which means, yes, I have a stereo in the bathroom. In my opinion, no good shave is complete without a soundtrack. I can't imagine fully enjoying a de-whiskering without some great music, be it mellow or maniacal, helping my razor along in its task. I just need to remember; now that I'm using a straight razor, dancing around in the bathroom just got a little more dangerous. This morning's playlist heavily featured songs by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Turbonegro, and a crazy little band called Gogol Bordello, a New York "gypsy punk" band composed mostly of Eastern European immigrants. Good stuff.
To give you an idea, here's a vid of one of my favorite Gogol bordello songs. At about 34 seconds in it'll kick you in the face (in a good way ;))

So what about you folks? Do you like to listen to music while shaving, or do you prefer to let the razor do the singing?
I think I'll post this over at B&B as well, to see what the DE guys have to say.
