Thread: Shaving in Public

I would do it, why not? They might bother you with questions about it though.

Heck ya..DO IT!
Might get some new friends to share our passion....

I use to shave at the Swimming pool in the AM but that was pre SR. Id say if the gym is kinda calm at that time go for it but i dont know if I'd wanna shave in a high traffic area?

I go to therapy pool four days per week. The sink area is cramped and not a good place to do anything except wash hands. So, until I find a pool bath with more room I will shave at home. Trying to apply a blade with a bunch of men my age tottering around would not be a good decision.

Always be aware of your surroundings!p

I used to go to a gym once and I used to see a guy shaving there(normal cartridge razor), and to be honest I found it a bit weird. I mean yeah there are sinks there so you can clean up and stuff and dry your hair using the hair dryers provided, much like a swimming pool...but shave there? I dunno, I am a pretty open minded guy but this just seems inappropriate to me. You wouldn't shave anywhere else just because it is possible would you?

I know in that gym I went to there was actually a sign asking people not to shave there so I guess I was not alone in my views. I hope no one takes offense at what I say as it is only my opinion of course, many others will disagree with me but there ya go. Anyway like some of the other guys said, people will just be annoying you with questions etc and it's just not an area which lends itself to a comfortable shave I know I like to be alone and in peace when I shave as it is more relaxing. Just my 0.02$ as they say

I like being in the privacy of my own home. And for some reason I like to shave in the evening or b4 bed. I rest really well and it lasts until after work the following day. Then I'm ready to shi+, shower, and shave once again. Also as an electrician I do a ton of sweating at work so resting is greatly easier after feeling completely clean and clean shaven. I guess I would do it different if I showered in the am. But I can't stand being sticky and dirty while I relax and my wife would kill me if I got near our bed b4 showering. Not that I would get in my bed b4 showering anyway. But there are times I come in so tired I can't hardly get in my front door before collapsing on top of my bed with my boots and all on and I don't wake up, even if she tries waking me or even tries to give me some, until the next day.

I am shaving at the gym, been doing so for several years. I prefer to shave at home but when I do go for a work-out, I shave there. Initially, I've used a DE or an SE, now I also do use straights there. I keep a paddle strop in my locker, alongside with averything else as I am not carrying it around. Most guys there at that time of the day are regulars and we bother each other not too much anyway.

We have a little in common it seems.....I chose my Forum name for a reason and it wasn't because I wanted to sound like a comic book character.
