    I think its safer to shut and lock the door. You never know who or what may barge in while you are around the ole neck area.

    I personally keep it open. Although when I shave it's usually in the mid morning and people are still sleeping and the animals are outside. Plus that way it takes yelling, banging on the door, surprise out of the equation. Usually my awareness is already pretty well alerted when I have a straight razor to my throat. Although I can see how keeping it shut and locking it could work great too. Maybe just for fun put a "Do not disturb, straight razor shaving" on the door.

    I usually shave at night, when my daughter is already asleep and my wife is halfway there, so there's no problem leaving the door open. even when I shave in the morning I don't bother with closing it. My daughter (3.5yo) is fascinated by the concept of shaving, and it's easier to let her watch and ask questions than keep her out. The cat is only in the yard, and when it comes to bypads ,with the door open I can hear better if someone is approaching. That been said, I try not to let being startled translate into unplanned motion. In too many things I do ( reservist as a marksman and a combat medic, EMT volunteer and first responder, gun owner, IPSC competitor etc) bad things happen if you let loud noises affect your fingers...

Now, you would think that after finding the d@$m toothpaste tube on the floor of the shower with bubbles coming out of it would just lead to a rule of not sharing tubes of toothpaste but you would be wrong. That would only lead to up to four d@&m tubes of bubbly toothpaste on the floor of the shower. Now obviously I was a completely unreasonable jerk for expecting my toothpaste to remained capped and shampoo--free, but that was just me being me. Now I have my stuff in my bathroom and my awesome new wife, of nearly fifteen years, has a huge amount of potentially annoying crap in her own bathroom where I have no need of being annoyed. I shave with minimal interruption in MY bathroom with MY stuff, which includes a perfectly capped tube of toothpaste.
    Now I know where you got your SRP handle.
