Routines

Sidney is correct except for the mirror bit. I shave in the shower but without a mirror and then finish off the locks in front of the mirror-it is really straightforward. I always finish off my shower with a quick 10 second burst of ice cold water to waken me up as well as closing my pores which is partly why I have such good skin I suppose.

I too am a recent convert to shaving in the shower.

It all began one day late last Summer, I went to shave at the bathroom sink, as usual. While filling the sink with water with from the hot tap, I noticed something significant - the water coming from the hot tap was cold. I checked the hot press to make sure the immersion was turned on. I discovered that it was turned on, but the copper cylinder was freezing cold…My immersion no longer worked, I almost immediately concluded. Being already under pressure time-wise I briefly flirted with the idea of boiling the kettle to provide me with the hot water required, but just as I prepared to make the sprint downstairs, I recalled an acquaintance once telling me of his shaving in the shower exploits, and the merits of same. I must admit, I had been sceptical of this as the preferred method of shaving, but I decided that now was the time to give it a try.

I proceeded to take my shower in the normal fashion, washing hair and body thoroughly. By now I was quite excited by the prospect of my first shave under shower. I had brought with me a small mirror from the bedroom that sat perfectly on top of the shower unit. I then proceeded to lather my face with shaving foam, using shaving brush of course. Soon I had my Mach 3 in hand, ready to lance the healthy growth of stubble that had shot up overnight. From the very first stroke, I knew that my shaving method had changed forever. I felt quite liberated as my razor glided over my face, like a skier over the snowy peaks and troughs of an alpine mountain range. My skin felt unbelievably smooth, like the bosoms of a particularly large breasted lady. There were one or two minor drawbacks at the start, but it has been a learning process, and by now, I have perfected my method to include all of the tips that Sid has mentioned above. As a shaver, I have never felt happier or more satisfied with my shave.

wow…wanking and shaving simultaneously… :clap:

6:30 alarm goes off
snooze until 7 or get up and deal with the child if she is awake
grab towel off the radiator which is warm at this stage and head for the bathroom
piss and then hop in the shower
shower gel first then followed by shampoo, no conditioner
shave every 2nd day and brush teeth
get dressed
put on kettle and prepare cereal (mixture of rice krispies and honey spelt puffs)
make tea and let it brew, toast 2 pieces of bread
head to the sitting room to eat cereal and browse internet
return to kitchen to get tea and toast with butter and raspberry jam
return to sitting room to consume the rest of the breakfast and continue browsing internet
finish breakfast and say goodbye to the family
hit the road about 8

For all you shower shavers, some soapy water on the mirror will prevent it fogging up.

Things I have added to my routine of late.

  1. Rinse my nasal passages with salt and water
  2. Swallow a spoon of Fish Oils
  3. A Spray of Vitamin D to the back of the the throat

How and why would one do this?

Cleanse the Sinuses mate… especially when pollen count is high.

Special little bottle for doing it. 2 minute job.

That machine is meant to be more effective for Hayfever and the likes, it meant to be excellent.

When I was in Oz the sinuses dried up and gave no issues at all.
