    Maybe so, but I'll still be alive to bitch about it!

    I thought it was difficult trying to shave while surrounded by a group of six or more screaming in-laws (including three mothers in-law) , many of whome would not miss me if I had an 'accident' with a razor.

    But I can not imagine having to shave while my wife was trying to off me and make it look like an accident.

    Can you buy exploding lipstick ?
    Seriously don't you have a lock on the door ?

    You could make one...Uses a 9mm round...! Second thoughts, that might be a bad idea.

    Usually I get the bathroom to myself when I shave, but every once and again my girlfriend needs to come in and do something. I noticed my technique drops considerably when she is there and I'm no longer in my little world. Now I just pull the razor off the face and stop shaving all together until she is out. I can't imagine kids and pets added to the mix.

    I deal with the wife and three daughters and the dog inning and outting of the bathroom all the time...Regardless of weather I'm standing at the sink and shaving or just...Sitting and thinking.
    For me it isn't a problem, unless I'm sitting and thinking...That's just not my idea of considerate behaviour.
    They all know to leave me be and let me get on with it...If they don't I just happily and easily drag out a shave for that bit longer...Irritates the hell out of the wife when I do that.

    She bumps your arm when youve got a RAZOR TO YOUR THROAT??? Maybe you should cancel any life insurance polices you have...Im just saying........

    If my wife even talks to me while I'm shaving I'll end up cutting myself- guaranteed. AAMOF, half the time she talks to me- even when I'm not shaving- I feel like getting my razor and cutting myself!

    For years i've shaved with wife (currently 1), two kids (currently 1) and 1-4 dogs (currently 3) makings sounds of normal living around the house. When at work (at the ship), there's always people running, shouting and making noise when i shave/sleep/eat/work or whatever.

    I've just learned to close my ears from the normal everyday sounds, sort of selective hearing i think.
    I don't want that people around me disturb my shaving or whatever i'm doing but i do not want my shaving to disturb others as well.
    Yet i agree that short moments of privacy and silence are pure luxury sometimes.
