I used to shave in the shower. However, since our water rates have gone through the roof, it's the sink for me. And realistically, I feel I do get a closer shave at the sink.

I have always been a shower shaver. It is much easier and less mess. I have a fogless mirrior in the shower, and that makes it much faster.

Mort,
No need to take a chance shaving with a blind eye in the shower... get one of those hand held (shatter-proof) mirrors from Wallly/KMart, CVS, etc or even one of the dollar stores, and use that to help guide you along the top and sides of your noggin. Some of these type mirrors have large enough handles that make them superb for shower-shaving. The back of the head may still have to be shaven sight unseen, but the shower shave beats a sink shave hands down!!
-Hope this helps-

- BTW- Try a few drops of olive oil mixed in with your favorite shave cream/gel and massage it into your scalp, let sit for a few minutes, then shave!! -

I had a shower shave was about 14 months ago. After that, I did not have shave in the shower until last night. I was surprised with how easily the hairs came off and how smooth the shave was and as morthen points out no razor burn at all.
So then I wonder why I haven't done it for the last 14 months?
I don't have a fog free mirror and so it's a pain to do parts in the shower and some in the sink. I will not shave the regions near my eyebrows with "touch and feel". It would be suicide to risk shaving off my eyebrows or cuts in my forehead.
But thanks Morthen!!! I will get a mirror once I'm back from china. -

No problem! as for Mirrors, I just got some cheapy dollar store one, it fogs up but i just rinse it off it works pretty good, I only use it for the top of my head though, the rest I do by feel

To each his own but shower shaving is the bomb. No mess, less irritation, scalp stays warm from the shower steam. No need for a mirror..you have to go Jedi with the razor..become one with it. I've never used a mirror and so far so good - in fact the only time a carved myself was sink shaving with mirror...go figure (got careless and went too fast). I tend to pace myself better in the shower Plus for me the shave lasts longer.
