Shaving, even with a straight, is normal compared to that.

If I were tall enough to wash my golf balls in the sink, I surely would.

That's good. Don't forget the camo for full effect.

Not really..they didn't drag you into the shower to stare at you,they drug you in there to make you clean yourself and nothing more. There was always that one gross person who didn't believe in showering after gym class and believe me..they get ripe fast....deesguuusting !

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. Must gouge out minds eye now !

Just to clarify....most times because of time and such I would just DE shave but if there ever were and there just may be a time when It would be feasable to set up straight razor kit for a shave amongst the general populace then sure i would.Let'em ooh,ahh,cringe whatever......if it makes converts,I'm cool and if it scares'em well then.....Muahahahahahahah !!!!!

Flash back to the '60's!! Had a part time job when I was in High School at the local YMCA. I worked in the Locker Rm as an attendant handing out keys, towels, baskets, etc.
The Y then was men only and clothing optional. Yes, pool, sun roof, where ever. And yes, shaving. You'd have 3 or 4 guys 60/70 yr old guys in a row shaving naked most with inguinal hernias! The only place they tried to unsuccessfully ban shaving was in the large stream room. Different times.

Inguinal hernias............yep. Minds eye now gouged. No more minds eye. It's toast.

I dont have done that for my self, but i say yes why not!
As said in early anwsers you can get some questions but what the heck, let them ask and mayby there is a new str8 shaver under those guys.
Have fun

To loosely papahrase scouthikerdad I think,to some you are carrying a folding 3 inch weapon. You may have some explaining to do, not that you probably couldn't talk your way out of it, but none the less would be pain.

Now contemplating shaving on the bus or possibly the subway.



Seriously though, my concerns would be (in order of importance):
1. Being able to enjoy my shave the way I can at home relaxed and lazily in my den.
2. Being bumped by someone else.
3. Having adequate space and security to lay out my stuff while I shave.

20. What anyone else thinks about me shaving at the gym. There are far greater (weapon) concerns at most gyms than a straight razor.
