Does anyone here shave out of the bathroom?

I was just wondering if everyone here uses the bathroom exclusively when they shave, or if there are other places people will go?

I have seen victorian shaving mirrors for the tops of men's dressers, and shaving mirror stands to put wherever. I have also read once somewhere that someone's grandfather used to shave at the kitchen table with a straight razor while everyone is milling about the place. (yikes!)

I would love to set up a shaving spot elsewhere, though my place is pretty small. I worry about slopping lather and water around the place, and I imagine you'd have to go back in there anyway to rinse off with cold watwer.
Anyway, my bathroom is a bit busy most of the time, and I do tend to get interrupted while shaving in the bathroom, especially on the weekends.

Is anyone here out of the bathroom?
 
I think the advent of hot running water in most houses put an end to the bedroom and kitchen table shaves.

I think you are right on the money with that.

I just didn't know if any weirdo renegades out there had their shave den somewhere else, and I was looking for some inspiration to get out of the bathroom into some other quiet place. I do have a big mixing bowl that I fill with hot water, because the bathroom sink drain is has been messed up for a while and it's usually gross/dirty. So I could fill it and go somewhere after the shower. It's appealing but seems inconvienient at the same time. I am just curious if anyone out there left the bathroom at all....
