Drunken New Years Eve shave

[Francois_Dillinger]

So last night at approximately 11:00 pm, after consuming a few cups of vodka, I apparently decided it would be a good idea to shave. I was home by myself celebrating the new year alone, and I had just gotten in the mail a Simpson Duke 3 (Best Badger) and a tub of Cella. Having never tried either before, I decided to have a go at it. Keep in mind at this point I could barely stand up I was so drunk.

I don't really remember what all happened next, but I do know that I showered, put some Proraso pre/post (green) on my beard, lathered up the Cella (wonderful lather, BTW) and shaved. Then I finished off with some Speick and, once it dried, some AoS sandalwood ASB.

Fast forward to this morning. I wake up; last night is kind of hazy. I go in the bathroom to start looking for some Advil to help with the horrible hangover. I look in the mirror. I feel my face. Best shave I've ever had. I expected it to have gone horribly, given the circumstances. No nicks; no cuts. Smooth.

It's a holiday miracle.

Congrats on the shave, too bad you don't remember any of the finer details.

not cool man. not cool.

everything else aside,,,, you get hammered, (alone at home) and take a shower???? all shaving aside,, this was the most dangerous thing you could have done.

Glad your ok. Congrats on the new gear.

 

[Francois_Dillinger]

Yeah, in retrospect it wasn't the best idea. I may have exaggerated how drunk I was. Instead of "could barely stand up" it maybe should read "could barely stand up straight", which is slightly less drunk.

You must have been "in the zone".

Congratulations on the new gear, but don't try that again.

Yeah, my little brother decided to take a shower drunk once. He fell and hit his head, falling out of the shower, and crawled naked out of the bathroom into a room full of people. His friend had to help him get dressed and in bed.

Just be glad you didn't try this with a straight. You might not have woken up at all.

Whew! Very surprised your face isn't raw today!

 

[Mick]

I didn't shave yesterday for this very reason.

True friends do not let friends drink and shave.

 

[ateace]

That's a pleasant surprise. Definitely do not try that again.

So you're not a poster child for "Please Drink Responsibly," but on the flip side you could be a poster child for Cella or Simpson. "Do you find yourself desiring that BBS feeling when you're wasted? Have we got the soap/brush for you!"

Congratulations on surviving your Darwinian episode. Keep trying your luck like that, and it's eventually gonna run out.

Gee, you may have inadvertently (or inebriatedly) discovered some long-lost art or the Holy Grail of shaving techniques! The only way to capture what it is you did so well is to repeat the Scientific Method exactly. This time have someone watch or video yourself so we can all learn!

I disagree. the most dangerous thing he could have done was go for a drive!

I disagree. the most dangerous thing he could have done was go for a drive!

.. while shaving!

Truth!

I was plenty sober when i got my shave out of the way in the afternoon though. Had to be respectable looking for dinner.

that would have been bad.

 

[rushchairman]

i'll leave the moral judgements and admonishments for the others. it all sounds pretty hilarious to me. happy new year.

 

[Useless shaver]

Now y'know how to get good shaves....

Pre-shave routine:

1. Soak brush in hot water.
2. Soak liver in 2 cups vodka.

LOL. thanks for sharing.
