Shave sitting down??

[SilentTuba]

In a weird, freak incident, I tore my calf muscle at my bowling league on Monday night (I wasn't even bowling at the time!) As I had
already missed shaving for the weekend (very busy weekend,
didn't have the time), it has been really bothering me not being able to shave after I shower, because I'm on crutches. I just couldn't stand there for 20 minutes on 1 leg while I lather and shave.

So, today, I dragged a chair into the bathroom, so I can sit down and shave after my shower. It worked fine, although rinsing my face after each pass was a challenge. Anyone else ever have a similar issue??? How did you deal with it??

I haven't had to deal with a situation like that yet. But I hope your leg heals soon.

In the last month or so I've been scrounging parts for a portable shave station at thrift stores and yard sales. I intend to have a comfortable stool, a table I can cut the center out of and set in a large recessed bowl, and a mirror fastened to the back of the table. I think it'd be nice to be able to shave by the morning sunlight on days with nice weather.

edit: So no, I haven't shaved from a seated position, but intend to in the future. Good luck with the leg.

As far as rinsing your face goes, I would imagine that it could be remedied by using a wash cloth to wipe away remaining cream/hair. The more wet it is, the more rinse-like it would be. Good luck.

i know your muscle is torn and you can't stand for the full length of your shower but could you at least stand while you rinse and then sit back down for the shave?

other than that i would say the washcloth is a good idea.

Ive never done it, though I really should.

I cant wait to see that!

Shave while sitting in the shower or bathtub? I've had relatives do that in the past when they couldn't stand at the sink.

Good luck on the re-coup, and as long as the shave works for you, who cares how its obtained? All the best.
