Thread: Teeth

Now I know that some of you guys are going to laugh your buts off and some will say why in the world would I post this. Well I debated whether to or not and since I've never been one to keep my mouth shut or fingers still here we go.
I lost my teeth to cancer a few years ago and since and before I became a straight user I always made sure my teeth were in my mouth before I shaved. I always thought that's the way it had to be. When I started with the straight I didn't see any reason to change. A few weeks ago for reasons to long to explain I had to shave with out them. I found that it was easier to get a good shave without them. Now I do have to put them in to shape around the stash but otherwise a comfortable shave and i didn't have to worry about the hard to get places like from the chin to the lower lip. for those without the store bought choppers when you move your mouth in different ways to shave some times the lower ones move. Now when you folks stop laughing think about it. There may be members out there who thought the same as me and never tried shaving without there R & R Choppers. Anyway i looked though a lot of post and didn't see anything like this so i hope if there's anyone out there in a similar situation this might help.

Always learning something new, no matter how old I get.

I have my four front teeth on a partial plate as part of a work place accident. The only area it really effects if my stache so I never shave without them, although I suppose I could do 90% of my shave without them. I have doe missing lower teeth in the back that are waiting for implants that I have to shave without and when they do get replaced they will be permanent. Eventually I will get implants to replace my front teeth. Worksafe here does not cover your teeth. I had a lot of damage and have been slowly replacing my badly damaged teeth with crowns, and now it is within grasp. Dental issues can be a long time getting fixed around here.

The permanent implants shouldn't give you any trouble shaving or anything else. From what I have found out there almost a good as the original ones. I whish I could qualify for them. The radiation did too much to the lower jaw. Anyway I do hope this post helps some one out there. If nothing else maybe it will light ones day.

Well, I'll give it a go. I'll try anything once...

As reading this, I use a technique of closing my mouth (really! ) and puffing air into the area I want to shave in order to make some problem areas smooth for the blade. I think this could help?

All I took away from this is that you kicked cancers A$$.

I screwed up the quote from sharptonn so it's still in line before what I added.
