Thread: Shaving in Public

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.
4. Have not thought of it yet...
5. Have not thought of it yet...
6. Have not thought of it yet...
7. Have not thought of it yet...
8. Have not thought of it yet...
9. Have not thought of it yet...


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

My only comment being to check local laws, and guidelines. While I live in an area with very liberal weapons laws ("a regular hunting knife or pocket knife..." are exempt from concealed weapons laws) a straight razor is considered a weapon under local case law. Therefore having a straight razor on your person in a public area may or may not get you into legal trouble depending on the perceptions of the arresting officer.

Plus I enjoy my quiet "Daddy time" shaves and do not necessarily appreciate interruptions. Plus, I'm still learning so I want to be able to concentrate on shaving and nothing else while I do so.
