Thread: Shave in silence, or with music/radio?

I still chuckle when I see the old video of the parrot who would whistle, "Always look on the Bright Side of Life" (from Monty Python), in accompaniment with his owner...don't parrots live an incredibly long time?

Cheers!

Most of them do. My uncle had a Galah that died at about 60 years old. We can only guess at that age though as he found him fully grown and injured. Nursed him back to health and he just stayed around. In the wild, these birds don't usually get past 20 years. In captivity they can go for as long as 80.

Pre kids and wife I shaved in silence, post kids and wife I put on some tunes to drown out the background noise, and I make sure to lock the door then double check twice to make sure it's securely shut.

No chance of shaving in silence around here, the radio is always on, there are usually at least two grand children here singing,yelling, screaming and laughing, their grand mother is either telling them off or laughing or singing along with them, the dog is barking, and our neighbor flies a top-dressing plane.

I like shaving with music but with small kids I am happy if they let me shave at all. It seems that everyone needs to be in the bathroom when I shave.

Yes, know what you mean, my 14 year old son comes down to watch me a lot...he has now decided that he is going to shave with a straight,"...in a couple of years Dad!".

Enjoy it...they grow up quick!

I go back and forth. sometimes silence, and sometimes music. this ,morning was a great shave with Pink Floyd - division bell ... marooned, very good for the day

Silence is my first choice.

That sounds rather dangerous. I don't imagine nice things happening when one of your kids pulls in your arm while you are shaving your neck.

The wife knows that if I'm in the bathroom, right after a shower, door closed and Sinatra, Dean Martin or Sammy Davis Jr is playing that I'm shaving and it's a good time to leave me be.

I often listen to music while I shave. I play what I feel like at the moment so it varies quite a bit.
