Shaving and Losing Focus...

[gearchow]

So I'm shaving the other night and my 7yo daughter was watching Dinosaur Planet DVD after dinner. So instead of getting ready for bed and leaving me alone, she scratches at the bathroom door and spends 5 minutes roaring at me.

I'm telling her "I'm shaving!", "Quit bugging me!" all the while I'm taking strokes with my new (old) Rocket. Sure enough, I gave myself a little ding, blood in the water.

Lost my focus.

So after I finished, I T-Rex'ed all over her Velociraptor. Lots of roaring, screaming and running. Maybe not the best pre-bedtime activity, but I enjoyed it!

If your not focused on your shaving, it's gonna be blood in the water. Having to focus on shaving may be the greatest gift shaving can give, for me anyway. I can only imagine the concentration and steady hand it would take to use a SE.

My daughter whos is also 7, always wants to chat in the morning while I am shaving. If not her, my wife.

Come to think of it, I don't like people watching me shave.

Aside from my wife, there are three cats and a dog in the house. That's one reason, uhh..five reasons why I shave in the shower.

ding, blood in the water.

Sung to the tune of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water", no doubt.

My 4-year old son is frequently watching me and asking all sort of questions while I shave. I don't mind at all.
Nowadays he doesn't leave the house without a cologne and a hair tonic.

I am nursing a slice on my cheek from just such a loss of focus while using a straight. My little buddy must have asked me a 100 times, "watcha doin?". After telling him 99 times, "shaving" I turned my head to say it again. Blade too close to face while turning head, not a good thing.

And then did you tell him "Well, now, I'm bleeding"

Actually, he told me, "Daddy got a boo boo". Then he told my wife, "Goddammit!". No idea where he heard that.

John,

This made me laugh out loud! Now that I've got kids I've wondered what they are going to make of my morning ritual when they can talk...your experience seems about right

I'll tell you what, there is nothing I have ever done in my life that gives me more pleasure than being a Dad. Doesn't matter what kind of day I've had, a few minutes with my 3 year old and I'm always laughing.

Congrats on the new arrivals. Enjoy it, they grow up quickly.

Yep, I got a 28 yo daughter and a 7 yo daughter. It buzzes by in a blink of the eye. Interestingly, the 28 yo seems to give me credit for knowing something now, but the 7 yo is starting to tell me I don't know anything.

I'm not real big on babies, but once they hit 1.5 or 2, man they can be fun and funny.

congrats!

Haha, my fiance loves to watch me shave, particularly when I break out a straight. She does keep quiet though. It is kind of nice. At least I think so.

No kids, but I do have a cat who stares at me while I shave.

A few weeks ago, she wanted to be fed, and kept meowing at me. I ignored her, so she rammed her head into my elbow, causing a nice gash along my cheek. She then immediately jumped on top of the bathroom door (didn't know she could get the high), and started to howl at me. Well, she got some attention.
