... while shaving? If you do, please share what kind of music you tend to listen too.
I find This Song makes shaving a little more exciting.

I listen to the radio usually... Classic Rock 91.5FM http://www.classicrockfm.com.au/915/
Shaving while listening to AC/DC, Billy Idol, The Police, Led Zepplin, etc, Awesome!!
That one... A bit too epic! I would cut myself before I could see Robin Hood!

I like to hear the Bangles, or a little Pat Benatar in the morning when I'm shaving. I'm also partial to Linda Ronstadt, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel and Michael Buble.
I'll sometimes listen to music, and sometimes just listen to the sound of whiskers losing another battle with my blade.
A great album for shaving time is Sinatra's September Of My Years. Those old enough to relate will enjoy The Man in The Looking Glass, a humorous song that seem right while you are dealing with the man in the looking glass.
The one that stays with me after the shave, however, is Once Upon a Time:
"How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go?"
There is something contemplative, self absorbed and bittersweet to me about a great shave that matches this. Once the scenery in the rear view mirror becomes as expansive as the road ahead, being alone and fully focused on something as basic as a shave provides a fertile field for memories and thoughts about what must come.
It probably sounds silly, but that time spent with razor in hand and mind free from the relentless assault of the distractions of modern life has added something to my outlook that I value, even if it's not always upbeat and and happy. I find myself choosing music that reflects this, or opting for the simplicity of silence.

No music for me. Hearing each individual hair being severed is, like, 1/10th of the enjoyment of wetshaving for me.
Did my first ever DE shave this evening while listening to a Queen best-of CD. I rather imagine the music would be different if I shaved in the morning. I usually want something to wake me up first thing in the morning, which usually means death metal.

If you do a search in the archives, you'll find a very long thread on the topic from not all that long ago. Features a metal band that is very talented at hair twirling. 
Yes, I listen to music as I shave an prepare myself for the day. I have a wall mounted mini-system that allows me to listen to the radio or to my CDs.
Tried it once, sliced myself good. Never again. I need to concentrate while I shave.
I like it quiet, too.
I get a better shave when I can hear the razor.

We listen to Morning Edition on public radio week days, so that's what I hear during breakfast and while dressing. But, it is quiet in the bathroom. I only have the sound of silence and shaving - whiskers being cut, razor swirling in the sink water, as I rinse off the lather.
Always something. I like to at least try to start the day in a good mood
I find vintage music to be just right for shaving. No current politics, good hummable tunes. I think my razor remembers some of them.
Examples? Here you go. Load these in your MP3 player and enjoy!
Radiola!
John Wright's British Dance Band Show

i put on pandora - dave brubeck channel...
I find the bathroom fan to be my best shave music. It's way too loud and moves no air whatsoever, but it soothes this savage beast.
Usually quiet, but I'll sometimes have NPR on.
I like the sweet sound of the blade mowing down my stubble!!!
I listen to either classical or some classic jazz - Miles Davis , Coltrane , Wes Montgomery and the like while shaving.
+1. Plus, I enjoy the peace and tranquility of shaving. Nothing to disturb me.
+2 I like to focus on where the blade is going. Anything else is a distraction.
