Shaving with a hangover is not good...

Yesterday was poker night with the boys, and as can be expected lots to drink thick cigars and a late night. Today I woke up early as we are having a Bar-B-Q and had to help the wife arrange it all. Many of the friends that are coming today have heard of my new hobby and think I am mental (nothing new by the way...). So I wanted to boast by showing them my baby face:nj.

My hands were trembling (I wonder why?). I should have taken the warning when I put 2 nicks on my TM strop:gaah:. From there it was all down hill and thinking back I dont know why I even attempted it. I did the first pass and had two nice cuts. I finished the rest with my Mach 3 and even though I did XTG and ATG the shave was not as close as I am used to by now. Well at least I´ll have a good story to tell at lunch!

Maybe you should have shaved before you went to bed when you were still drunk.

hmmmm, I will have to think about that one:hmmm:.....is that how you guys do it in Thailand?

... but practice makes perfect... :-)

Hair of the dog, then shave.

Happened to me too, I just started a WTG pass, scared myself, then took the DE to finish the job.

Get a cheap superspeed for 10-15$ ;)

I've been there before, more than once actually. I've found that a couple bloody mary's and an omelet really balance things out again. If you have time to squeeze in a nap after it all, your in for a real treat :tu

I'm quite partial to a drink, and I have never woken up with a hang over fancying another one!

One day I'll try it. I hear those in the air force take a few glugs of pure oxygen and are as good as new.

On the (now) relatively rare occasions that I have a really bad hangover, I don't shave. Minor ones just don't figure. What I have noticed is, shave before the coffee or a couple of hours after. Seriously, stone cold sober the night before, a pot of coffee=shaky (for me).

Not really a problem I face in Thailand. I hardly ever drink there. But I'm happy to offer free (even if unhelpfull) advice.

Yeah, shaving with a hang over sucks. I take out my gillette bostonian when I have a rough morning.

I never get drunk enough to cause a hangover unless I plan to sleep it off the next day. It's a policy that has served me well.

If I tried any form of shaving with a hangover it would turn nasty in so many ways.:gth

Amatuers.....:rolleyes:

Greg, that's an old cure dating back to the Battle of Britian. I never tried it, but I understand it does work.

Nun2sharp, :rofl2::roflmao

I'm a fan of drinking while shaving. It steadies the nerves.

I have been known to go for a walk round the block when I'm hung over, if it's not too warm - so on principle it sounds good to me! I read from the book of not getting drunk enough to get a hangover these days.

Steady the nerves? Nerves about what!

My SR shave experiences have also led to these conclusions:

Honing while inebriated does not produce a smoother shave

Shaving after drinking single malt and with a cigar in your mouth does not produce a better shave

it's really not a big deal to shave hungover, i do it all the time, the trick is to have a lot of vitamin b12 plus electrolytes, that'll cure what ails you.

I'm with you on this one. I do however sometimes have a bit of hair of the dog in the morning. not to make my shave happen but to take the edge off the headache. one morning went to breakfast with my in-laws, who aren't really fun, and it was about 8:30-9am and I ordered a drink. they gave me a kind of weird look, I just said,"hair of the dog" and took a big gulp. :)

I feel better after shaving when i have a hangover. Proraso shave followed up with some osage rub and asb.. Very refreshing.
