Thread: 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.

My hands were trembling (I wonder why?). I should have taken the warning when I put 2 nicks on my TM strop. 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.....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

Exactly! A pop or two to steady those hands!

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).
