    Ditto. (Plus a few more extra characters to meet the required 10.)

    The downsides are mentioned. The upside to shaving in the shower is that you don't use vision, and are forced to rely on other senses. But, you can close your eyes while standing in front of the sink and do the same. After you are good at shaving with a straight razor, then from time to time don't use your eyes to help and you will improve even more.

    Default ok so,,,

    ,,no straights in the shower,,,too many risks there + you wont be able to stretch your skin while shaving. The first thing i think of about shaving in the shower is to save time,,,,once you start shaving with a straight razor you are going to hate the moment when you finish shaving and you're gonna be like "damn its over ,,i have to wait 2 or 3 more days til my next shave " .

    its a moment we all enjoy,,i shave twice a week and i give myself an hour for a shave (sometimes more i swear) no rush,,its my relax time (im in my bubble)

    As for shaving your head with a straight,,,i dont know,,i never tried (i dont shave my head) but i read this post a couple of weeks ago :

    hope it helps :P

    and finally,,,welcome to the club where i say : real men shave with straight razors :P:P:P
    nah just kidding
