Any shower safe straights?

I have been using a Parker SR-1 and a Feather SS quite a bit in the shower. They are both nice because I can keep them, and use them, in the shower. Is there a suitable straight that can take this sort of treatment? Maybe wood or plastic handles? Stainless Steel blade? I wouldn't mind having a couple of straights that don't need to be pampered and can be replaced as needed.

Thank you,

Any cleaned up eBay cheapie will do. All you really need to do is make sure to dry it when you get out of the shower and don't leave it in the shower.

Probably stainless blade and either stainless scale or plastic one. However, shaving in the shower with a straight is dicey. A little too slippery in there for me. One false move and you know what could happen.

Goes against all safety common sense.

I'd put some PVC pipe on your you know what first.

Should you wish to count to 21 at the end of the day, I would highly recommend no Straight shaves in the shower!:gth

SHOKI! You are BACK! Still the same ol fun-lovin dude! :rock:

I shave with the Parker SR1 and the Feather SS. I never feel like I am going to drop them and cut off my parts. Not that dropping them would be safe.

You say "Any cleaned up eBay cheapie" would a honed Whipped Dog do the trick as well?

Thank you,

H*ll, I can protect mine with a Duncan Donuts Ice Coffee straw; those things are pretty thick. :shrug:

Nobody ever "feels" it, until they "feel" it. ;)

Scares the sh*t out of me, the very idea, I always wear underwear while shaving with a straight. I could live with out a toe or two, but I'd like to retain my 'manhood'.

Yes a whipped dog would do the trick.

Just curious, do you "shower shavers" have a mirror in there? How do you see what you're doing? I would think that to be kinda' dangerous. Also, the razor would probably slip out of my hand, & straight razors and gravity don't mix, especially when you're naked south of the border! :(

Yes I have a shower mirror in my shower for the days I shave in there. Which are mostly when me and my wife need to be in the bathroom at the same time. I started like shoki with the Parker then moved to a weck sextoblade and now just use whatever blade is in rotation at the time. Never had an issue with grip before at the sink or shower. I do keep a wash cloth out of the way of the water to dry my hands on in the shower.

Naked and wet with a razor. Brave.

So where are you going to stack the donuts....? :)

There's only room for 1 donut. :(

Id not only worry about the privates, say with your best case scenario and you miss your body completely and hits the tile. You have at best simply just cracked scales, worse is a chipped blade and either have to have it honed anew or a pretty looking letter opener. Id seriously consider why you're shaving in the shower to begin with. If you are doing cause you're in a hurry, you have lost the art of this hobby.
