I am seriously in love with that blackened blade, and the barber's notch too! Hell, I love everything about that razor

Friday
I need a new book to read “pre-shave, whilst sitting down” each morning if you get my drift. I’ve just finished some Kafka short stories and picked up ‘Shame’ by Salman Rushdie; I like the way he writes, but I don’t think I’m in the mood for him. Possibly Plato again?
I wonder what other people read “pre-shave, whilst sitting down” each morning, if they indeed do. I understand that in India sales of the newspaper are huge, contrary to western trends, as having a newspaper is a ‘badge’ to state “I am one of the literate”. We all have ‘badges’ to represent the person we want to project; the person we want to be; the group we want to say we belong to…
I often like short pieces, poetry, or short stories. After all, the occasion does not lend itself well to reading The Lord of the Rings…
Anyway, what are you (if you are) currently reading each morning “pre-shave, whilst sitting down”? (or it could be post shave, I guess)
Razor: De Pews Pre-Shave : Sukin Facial Moisturiser Pre-Shave Text : ‘Shame’ by Salman Rushdie Cream : Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad After Shave: Floïd

Interesting point; I don't normally read much in the morning as time is precious for not being (very) late in the office, but certainly I do get the chance to flick through a couple of newspapers (WSJ and The Guardian usually) in my iPad. Nothing beats the flair & feeling of holding a printed book in your hands, of course... Originally Posted by carlmaloschneider
