shaving poll

This is not about how often or what you shave, I'm pretty sure we've covered that in the past. I'm just curious where you shave? In the shower? bathtub? sink? outside? (ok probably just a guy thing, but I have a friend who goes in the backyard to trim his beard.) 

I typically just do it while I'm in the shower, but it seems like such a waste of water to me. I can't figure out a better solution though. Sometimes if I don't want to get all wet I will sit on the edge of the tub and just run a little bit of water. 

Re: shaving poll

  • Usually it is in the shower.  If I just need to shave and not wash the rest of me, I'll sit on the edge of the tub and shave.

  • In the shower. I've shaved my legs outside of taking an actual shower before but usually just because I didn't have time when I showered or because I realized I forgot.

  • I shave when I am in the shower.

  • so for all your shower shavers - does it take a long time? It usually adds an extra 8-10 minutes for me which makes me feel really bad about all the water wasted during that time. Maybe I am just slow when it comes to the razor...
  • In the shower. It adds some time on, but I an not sure how long. I like long showers though.

  • In the shower. I'm not a linger in the shower kind of person so the longest it takes me to shower, shave and wash my hair is 15-20 minutes. 

    I have shaved my legs outside. After Hurricane Ivan my step sister and I sat on the picnic table in our back yard with a bowl of water and shaved.  That was an experience.

  • Bathtub. I suck at shower shaving.

  • Im not a shower person, so I usually shave in the bath.  When I think about it, its gross, but I hate showers, so whatever.

  • Usually the bath because I take one every night, but if I shower instead, I do it in there. It only takes me a couple of extra minutes.
  • I'll usually shower and then when I'm letting the conditioner sit in my hair for a few minutes, I'll switch to a bath and shave (This is why I always shower in our guest bath rather than our master walk in shower.) Once I'm done shaving, I switch back to shower, rinse out my hair and I'm done.

    This is exactly what I used to do before I had a seperate shower.

     The shower stall we have now is super tiny, no room to bend over or sit to shave...so I will shower first, then I fill the bathtub partway and go sit in there to shave.  It probably uses less water overal lthan letting the shower keep running while I shave.

  • Always in the shower.

  • Only in the shower, while my conditioner is sitting in my hair. It takes me about 3 minutes. Switching from shower to bath to shower seems complicated to me.
  • In the shower.  I've sat on the edge of the tub to do it when I realize I'd forgotten and need to wear shorts/dress.  I'd say I probably do a better job that way actually.  haha

    Same here.

  • Usually the shower... however if i'm taking a bath I use it as an opportunity.
  • In the shower always.

    And I'll be the minority here and say that I think baths are gross.

    I'm with you on that.

    Even if you're clean while taking them and rinse off afterwards? Or are you talking about strictly just a bath as a way of cleaning yourself?

    Mostly as a way of cleaning yourself and not taking a shower after (and that seems like a PITA).

    But the idea of shaving in a bathtub full of water makes me Ick!.

  • I don't know how often most people clean their bathtubs but mine gets cleaned once per week if I'm lucky. Also the way my bathroom is set up my toilet is next to the tub where my head would be. No matter how clean my bathroom could be that makes me feel gross.

  • ummm have you guys seen my tub? This is in the guest bathroom and the only time it gets used it when I take a bath - it's only been showered in a handful of times ever. I like to fill it up with bubble bath, get a glass of wine, and read a book. It's awesome! I loooove my tub. I've even joked that if we were ever to walk away from this house we would be taking the tub with us.

  • I might have a different opinion if my bathroom looked like that.
