Never Shave when mad!

[CryptoDave]

This may be obvious to some but wasn't to me.

3 days ago I was really mad, had lost my temper and decided to shave.

What a HUGE mistake that was. I tore up my face. I'm sure it was due to my bad mood, which probably caused me to rush and apply way too much pressure.

I now have a rule in the house, no one talks to me while I'm shaving or as I prepare to shave.

Anyone else experience this?

Ouch. I don't shave when I'm mad or when I'm in a rush. There Will Be Blood.

Never shave when mad. I mean a shave is ment to be relaxing after all. One could probably become relaxed while shaving, but I wouldn't want to try to get that way by shaving. IMHO that could only lead to bigger problems and terrible results.

 

[jphillips97]

I would think it would be soothing.

Don't drive angry, don't drive drunk. The same applies to shaving.

 

[cb91710]

Yup.

If I'm upset, tired, or just not feeling well, I'll either skip the shave, or reach for the Mach-3.

Double important since I shave in the shower... with a straight.

Dang, where'd I leave that brain-bleach!

fancy taking out your anger on your own face...

 

[MickToley]

Sorry to hear this. Sometimes, when I shave while angry, it calms me down a lot. It's sort of like therapy, I'm in the room all alone, music on, the scent of my soap in the air. Ahhh... It's very relaxing.

Also, don't go to bed angry... Or is that, "don't go to bed if your wife is angry."

Be angry or frustrated but don't take it out on your own face! Shaving should be relaxing and therapeutic. Pause, take a breath or two, take a shower, then relax into your shave.

My wife has learned that my weekday mornings are for showering, shaving, getting dressed and going to work.

I don't do well when I get sidetracked with questions, discussions, decision making, etc.
Some things can't wait and have to be addressed, but most can be put aside for later in the day.

 

[fsturnz]

I agree. Don't shave when mad, or distracted, or rushed! But if I'm careful, I can use the shave to help me calm down...but have to be supremely mindful or risk letting the anger surface again. If my wife interrupts me when I'm shaving, I'll put the razor down, listen politely like a good husband should, and return to shaving by washing the lather off my face and starting over!

So true. Because you'll fall asleep and she'll continue to fume.

Very true about not shaving mad or intoxicated.

 

[parsifal54]

I have definitely surmised that shaving while distracted can result in a heavy fine...payable in nicks, weepers, etc

 

[AceByTerror]

LOL - made me think of this scene!

 

[jzuzphreek]

Very true about not shaving mad or intoxicated.

Heaven forbid if you go to bed when she's angry, and knows where to find your razor blades or straight razor!

So there I was.... the perfect Kyle prep had just been completed, the new blade beginning its Gillette slide, when all 4 kids come running towards the bathroom as if a rabid lion was on their tails. I became instantly reminded of our tiny bathroom's inward swinging door. I could almost see the trail of blood running down my neck in the reflection on their saucer sized eyeballs. Their intrusion had been recognized, and they left faster than they had arrived. The rest of my shave was a little rough. The kiddos came back to check on daddy, and all was well again, but distractions can lead to less than desirable results. YMMV

 

[wrinkles2]

I have learned not to shave while Really Tired.

Never fails, as soon as I put the straight to my face, my wife wants to talk. Good thing I'm not into conspiracy theories
