Thread: What do You Think About While Shaving

Here are a few things I think about while shaving, in no particular order:

I wonder how much I could get for this razor
I thought I honed this last week
Why is the bathroom counter so deep
I need to fix the exhaust fan in here
Is my beard growing in the same direction as it did yesterday? yep
Time for a new razor

Someone has said that men think about sex about 1-2 per minute. Might be true or not, but while shaving i think of nothing. Sort of a zen like experience that is.

I use to clear my mind and enjoy "Shave Time" (IE, you can talk to me, but bear in mind i am not listening, shave time) but now i am going to try making movies, too.

I concentrate on shaving and think of nothing else. If you loose focus while shaving that's where the trouble starts.

I just do what comes naturally and not over-think it. That's something that can only be achieved through experience, not something I would recommend to a newb. Sometimes over-thinking it can be more detrimental to a shave than under-thinking it.

I think of nothing at all except what is at hand. The few times my mind does wander I end up with a nick.

When i start dragging some steel on my face,the only thing i think of is ,boy i did a nice job honing this one.Other than that i cant remember!!

That pretty much nails it for me too.
