Thread: Shaving While Seated?

Hey - you find bright sports when and where you can.

Sorry to hear about the leg...get well soon!

Mister Moo! Gosh almighty, when you just think fate forgot about you it bites you in the arse (or breaks your leg). Make sure that you have a frosty one while sitting on the bar stool. I understand a little of the foamy can improve an uber lather and add a pleasant aroma on top of it. Other uses: slow sipping, beer pancakes, beer flavored cheese soup to sooth the nerves.

Get better and make sure you keep us informed on shaving on a different level.

I have been wanting to try to sit down while shaving. Who was it....sat down at a party (after a few) and shaved without a mirror even. Anyway you can get it done is good. Be careful with that bar stool. Make sure there are no wet spots on the floor or loose tissues. Wouldn't want you to fall and break an arm. Then you would have to teach the female in your life to shave you :<0) Hope the cracks fill soon !

Man - that sitting down idea sounds alright. Might give that a go.

Get someone to sign "earcutter" on that cast of yours... here's to a speedy recovery.

In your driveway lol!! That sucks! But its statistically commonplace. Something to do with letting down your guard the closer you get to home or some such rational... still - LOL! That bites !!

I've been riding for about 3 years now...and have yet to lay my bikes down. The problem with that you may ask? I know it's coming. Like an old buddy told me, there's 2 types of riders, those who've been down, and those who are going down. I know it'll happen as soon as I let my guard down!

Ain't age a bitch. When I was 17 I totally crashed my dirt bike. The bike was a goner, I split my helmet in half and laughed about the scratch on my shoulder. 5 years ago, I set the kickstand down on the bike on fresh asphalt, the bike sunk and fell right on top of me trapping my leg. No injury to the bike but I walked with a limp for 6 weeks. On the plus side, you did get to learn how to shave relaxed sitting down. Hopping you have a very speedy recovery, and many safe open roads.

Hmmmm...a tabletop mirror, a small end table and a dish tub or large bowl with a pitcher of water, a cup of hot coffee......I could envision shaves out on the porch maybe ?? Just a thought.

This was my first personal injury in 45 years on two wheels. I totalled one bike (I-95/1995 no injury) and dropped a few in parking lots and on sand/gravel, all low speed. Best advice, always dress for the fall.

Thanks Ed. My ankle feels like it went through a chipper but the rest of me is fine.


The stool didn't work, then it did. It was too tall and there was no place to brace the busted leg. I felt like I was unstable and it was hard to twist/turn to reach things. I changed course the other day and slid in a lightweight chair and made the barstool into a shaving table, towel rack, mirror stand, etc. Practically perfect.

Read my signature, if you've went that long without your in the minority ,, I've been down and hit ,, but wouldn't give it up for anything. Heal quick and good luck next time out on your scoot. Tc

Thanks, t. I'd probably feel different if I was squished but I try to be crazy-careful and make my own luck. You know the drill.
