Thread: Your shaving playlist...

I like listening to music during all of my daily activities. Shaving as well. I would like to know, if you do listen to music while shaving, what you listen to.

My recent playlist (minus last night, LOL) is:

Abney Park
Seven Nations
The Pouges
Flunk
Tegan and Sarah
Jill Tracy
Tom Waits
Marian Call

Just to name a few. So what about you guys and (Girl??? We do have one right?)

Currently I have no music in my shaving routine,
but would like to add it. I'm thinking something in
the area of classical music. For now it's usually
the children's network of Noggin playing as I have
a three year old roaming about. I try to shave
when he's napping but sometimes find him fixated
enough on what he's doing to get a shave in
with him awake. I think my collection of Irish rebel
music would inflame me and cause me to do
unneccesary damage to myself . I saw
someone recently listened to Rage Against
the Machine. Not suggested.

Yeah, whoever ::cough...ME...cough:: that was listening to Rage was an idiot.

Oh, that was you? Good music, maybe just
not for shaving.

John

I'd imagine some good ole Lynyrd Skynyrd would be suitable for me. Or evn some of Ted Nugent's Craveman.

Mmmm....speaking of Craveman....

<switches iPod to Earthtones>

I like Classical and AC/DC When I shave depending on my mood prior to my shaving. That is when I have quality time. In the morning it is talk radio before work.
Robert

Bad Brains, Black Flag, Fugazi, The Smiths, The Cure....

With a little Giuseppe Verdi to soften the edges

Depends:

Morning Shave:

Rancid
Bouncing Souls
DKM
Dead Kennedys
Flogging Molly

Evening Shave:

The Pogues
Joe Strummer and the Mascelaros
Kyuss
Whitesnake
The Clash (mostly later stuff)

I go mostly for folk music (I find it calming) and classic rock. So I usually break out Sarah Harmer, Catherine McClelland, Rose Cousins, Gordon Lightfoot, Kathleen Edwards...and CSNY, acoustic Zep, etc. If I'm feeling a little more esoteric or contemporary, I'll add some Radiohead to the mix.

Mark

Dimmu Borgir
Impending Doom
In Flames
Converge (this can make stropping tricky)
Meshuggah
Dethklok
Cradle of Filth
Kamelot
Nile
Amon Amarth

if I'm feeling old skool, some Savatage or the like. if I'm feeling weak and womanly, I'll play some AFI or Metallica or something.

I'm not sure why people think Rage Against the Machine is unsuited for shaving... I'm definitely not a fan of their music, but not sure why it's inappropriate... an inside joke or something?
