Thread: I may be crazy, but maybe I'm not the only one...

Ok, lately, I've come to realize that I can do several area's of my face better without looking. For instance, if I close my eyes when I do my sideburns and go solely by what "feels" right I get a MUCH closer shave. It seems if I take out sight I can more heavily rely on touch and sound to get a close shave. Call me crazy, but it works.

Am I the only one who does this?

you are not alone, i have been wearing eye glases for about 15 years and am loss without them, i cant see anything without them just outlines so about 1 month ago we had a thread about this shaving by fell, so i have been shaving without my glases for a month and i like it the shaves are much better dont know why but they are and i like it.

I have to remove my glasses to shave just because they seem to get in the way. But touch is probably one of our prime sences and most positive. So no suprise we should trust it.

This reminds me of the Japanese movies about the blind Samurai Zatoichi, who did amazing feats of swordsmanship without the benefit of sight. No thanks, I value my ears and eyes too much to shave blind. Call me timid......I have already significantly nicked both ears, on the tragus. Wanna keep them!

This has come up before. You actually do most of your shaving by feel and not site. We used to have a member who was blind and used a straight.

I bet his shaves were amazing

It's good to see that I'm not the only crazy one around here. I just close my eyes, take a deep breathe, and let my hands do the work. Of course, I don't shave very fast this way, that would just be silly.
