Thread: Could you shave with your eyes closed?

Kinda hard not to. How else does one touch up their eyelids?

I saw a blind barber give a shave to a roaming TV chef once.

Yes, I've dug around and rooted for the footage a few times, but cannot find it. I think it was Andy Zimmern, but it may have been Tony Bourdain...or maybe it was a similar show. Some far off place where straights and DE's are quite the norm (and the food is good).

My myself? Probably, but the technique would evolve a little-feeling my way around the hazards. Right now i'm afraid I would foul my facial hair lines. My summertime patch could be mowed around no prob, blindly.

I do believe (nobody try this ever) that just closing your eyes at any point with the blade on skin--will instantly heighten your awareness of the blade (angle/speed/pressure/direction), in the fingers driving it as well as on your mug.

I think I could, but I have goatee and it's gonna looks like funny after that....(even my ears...):-)

Pretty sure my customers prefer I keep my eyes open, jmho.
