Sink shaver, now a shower shaver
« on: June 08, 2010, 07:02:17 AM »
wowww I shaved my head today for the first time in the shower, and I must say it was incredible. all the stubble was comming off in one pass, and best of all VERY little irritation. Just gotta get used to doing everything by feel but MAN im so glad i tried that.

Thanks again slybaldguys for making my life better :D

Glad you finally had a good shave!  I used to be a sinker too  8)  I still do my face at the sink.

Tried shower shaving once ... think I'll stick to the sink, thank you.  :-)

I am a recent shower shaver convert.... I LOVE it, too.  My sink and floor used to be soaking wet after I shaved... so much easier in the shower, and your skin is extra hot from the constant water.  Can't believe it took me so long to try out!

I picked up a cheap non-fog shower mirror to be able to do my face too.  Don't need it for my head, but now I don't have to shave my face in the sink either.

I am usually a shower shaver.  I also find less irritation shaving in the shower.  I also do my face there.  But I will touch up on the face at the sink!

So far in my very early sly life I have been a sink shaver.  After reading this post, I think this weekend when I have more time I may try the shower.

I have on several occasions done a shower shave.  On the plus side, it is faster, of course it leaves less water on the counter but that's about it.  It's not that much faster, and together with my experience that it is never as long lasting as a nice, carefully done sink shave after showering keeps me in the sink shaver group.  I am rarely in such a rush that I need to save the little time it takes, and since stubble shows up w/in 6-8 hours, I'm aggravated with the net result.  So for me at least, it's like the weapon, Fusion, M5, Mach 3, or HB, each guy and his scalp have to find each other regarding method, products and equipment to gain the "sweet spot" of sly for themselves.

I've been a shower shaver all along.  Easier, cleaner and I get a better shave.

I prefer to shower shave, however, on the occasion that my fiancé beats me to the shower in the morning I'll sink shave while she showers.

i don't do it because its faster, doing it in the shower just makes it much easier my razor cuts through the stubble much easier and I never have razor burn after a shower shave either.

We have two sinks/two mirrors in our upstairs bathroom, so I can be busily working on myself, without creating a holdup for the wife/kids (now that school's out, it isn't nearly as much of an issue, but it's great when people have to be places!)
