    Default Music well shaving?

    Do you listen to music well you shave. If so what do you jam?

    Lately:

    Miles Davis- birth of the cool(1950's jazz well shaving with a vintage straight razor and some sandlewood soap... so relaxing)

    The Gaslight Anthem-the 59' sound (modern band, but has a old school feel to it.)

    Although I don't have a means of listening to music in my bathroom, I do "think" of Jazz when I shave. That would be my perfect music to shave to. Relaxing and just fits the mood...Miles would be good!

    I love Gaslight Anthem and 59 Sound is my favorite of their LP/EP's.

    I have been listening to Sun Araw lately when I shave. Pitchfork described their album "On Patrol" as "...like listening to a lava lamp." It is psychedelic electronic droney stuff, but it seems just right to me for shaving.

    I do jazz as well Hank Mobly, Coltrane, but mix it up with Louie Prima and Sam Butera.

    Yes I do listen to music, when I str8 shave. It is more convient now, that I have an i-pod classic with all my cd's loaded in it. The Bose sound dock I have, is not only more compact then my portable cd player, the sound quality of the Bose i-pod sound dock blows the cd player away, as well. I play mostly classical, and jazz.

    I used to listen to music while shaving, mostly ballads and sometimes power metal. I also listened to jazz, but I noticed that no music at all gives me the best shaves.

    Default Music While Shaving?

    Gentlemen:

    When I do listen to music while shaving, it is classical.

    Since I have great passion for chamber music, for me a Schubert string quartet, for instance, frames the joy of shaving early in the morning. So does chamber music — piano trios, string quartets, piano quintets, and so on — by by Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Schumann, Ravel, Debussy, and many of the other good guys.

    I leave the symphonic works for other times of the day, as I do jazz.

    Regards,
    Obie

    If I shave at night I listen to music.. normally something from the ZEN music channel on Directv. Normally though I shave in the morning where SWMBO would use the razor against me if I turned on music that early
