Music while shaving?

- Start date
Soft jazz or top-40 radio
Well, today I was listening to this: http://badbadnotgood.bandcamp.com/ (The fourth song on their second album, Limit to your love, introduced me to these guys and I have been slowly adapting to the rest of their stuff).
But only because I have the house to myself at the mo, come Wednesday when my housemate returns it will be back to shaving in silence!

First off, I'm loving your user name!!!!
My shaving music ranges from day to day. Sometimes classic rock sometimes it's punk or hardcore, it all depends on my mood that particular day.

HAH!! this may get confusing.
i save my punk/hardcore for the car. i might get a bit jumpy listening to gorilla biscuits or some misfits and give myself a good nick.

No worries man, they play a lot of cool stuff and are worth a listen if you can ignore some of the more 'Jazzy' stuff.
I Liked this quite a lot, his style reminded me of Mark Knopfler
I listen to the music of the blade gliding along the face. But strangely enough I was pondering this question earlier in the week.
The choice would depend on how long you've gone between shaves. After a two or three day growth I could imagine one of the following for the first pass:
Also sprach Zarathustra
Fanfare for the Common Man
The second pass would require less vigorous inspiration:
Allegretto from Beethoven's 7th Symphony
Faure's Pavane
The third pass is more difficult. You don't want to rush at this point, but you want to finish with a feeling of triumph. Possibly the Firebird Finale.
Shostakovich Festive Overture

Need to hear the hairs otherwise I'm scraping skin.
I think it's because my razor blade exposure is passive.

Used to enjoy music while shower/shaving. Now at the sink I enjoy the sound of the beard going away!
Here's a few previous discussions you might like.

The sound of silence sounds nice, from time to time.
Ultravox - 'Cut and Run'.
I tend to stick to classical while I'm shaving - probably something old and choral.
I sliced myself to ribbons last time I tried listening to KMFDM (Xtort) while shaving. And I kept trying to sing along when I was listening to Alabama 3 (Exile on Coldharbour Lane), which made precision quite difficult.

Depending on my mood and the day. Most of the time no music, but when I do put something on it's Ska, classical, jazz, punk, and modern rock.
I sometime have the TV on in the background. I like Saturdays when I'm shaving and I have ESPN College Game Day on. It's a real mancave effect!
