Morning shave and mood.

[Teddyboy]

For me, getting that good morning shave can help send me on my way to work in a decent frame of mind - the basic good mood. But how many of you really get pissed off when your shave doesn't come out like you would like. For example, you don't load your brush enough; or you leave a used blade in a day too long; or you are in a hurry and your neck ends up looking like you've been shaving with push-pins, etc. When my shave does not get a passing grade it will dwell in my head, on and off, all day. It won't effect my performance or personal interactions, but I will think about that lousy shave all day. Am I alone, or is this common among my fellow BB perfectionists?

You can be honest. I've decided a while ago that I need help.

I'm the same way. I get my hardware and software ready the night before and am excited to get started shaving in the morning. It really puts me in a good mood when I get everything "just right". If I feel a little bit of stubble after my cold water rinse and aftershave, it really eats at me. I have to think back to what I did wrong, was it the blade, not enough lather, etc... A lousy shave makes for a lousy day.

+1 Im with you guys, a good shave is very up lifting.

For me its kinda the opposite-but I shave in the evening. A bad day equals a bad shave.

Can't exactly say that a bad shave ruins my day - however, being a perfectionist, I do get miffed and filled with regret when I realize during the rinse phase that I could have done a better job. Usually under the chin or under the nose. First world problem much?

I don't sweat the small stuff. I'm not in a public facing position, so the fact that I have a DFS most days and a BBS on some is considered over the top where I work.

If I don't load my brush enough, I just reach for the mug and load it some more. If the blade needs changed, I stop and change it. I never did really hack up my face and sure don't do it now that I've been DE shaving for a while. I faceturbate at the end of every shave and if it isn't good enough to suit me I spend an extra minute or two touching up. I go on with my shave and my life.

i don't have many bad shaves, but if i do, i don't worry much about it and let it ruin my day as life is too precious and i always know tomorrow's shave will be better!
i love shaving in the morning to be able to faceturbate most of the day. Hee hee.

Still in my wet shaving infancy (Only 4 months in!) and a good morning shave can really pick me up, but I also find that a good breakfast and/or a hot cup of coffee can do that as well!
