Shaving wake-up trick

[icedoverfire]

1. Splash face with very cold water; dry.
2. Dab a couple drops of ultra-mentholated aftershave (e.g. GB Chilled/Osage Rub/equivalent) on the ridge of your cheekbones below your eyes.

Tried this yesterday after I shaved. It has to be experienced, IMO.

I do something similar to this in order to wake up; I actually splash just a bit of a mentholated AS directly into my eyes.

Wow. I just have two cups of coffee. Guess I am just a wimp.

You splash two cups of coffee into your eyes? That's insanity!

Splashing liquid in which alcohol is the primary ingredient into my eyes??....no thanks. I'll stick with coffee.

Yeah, the alcohol may sting a bit , but the menthol cools the burn...

When I wake I nearly jump out of the bed...instant wake up!

My toddler usually climbs on to the bed and starts jumping...usually ending up accidently bagging me as I try to sleep. Let me tell you...I'm awake after that!

Whenever I use osage rub normally, my eyes burn. I can't image applying it any closer to my eyes than necessary.

Insane is right...who wants to drink coffee that's been diluted with salty tears? Ugh.

I find snorting the Osage Rub to be more effective ... and manly

Usually am woken by a small one 30 minutes before the alarm.

I use CO Bigelow Menthol body wash in the shower, then crank it to cold for the last few seconds. The cold water and menthol sure wake me up!!

A Scottish shower. I try them every so often. The cold water hurts my pride though.

Not sure if I would want to experience this. It's my understanding a kick to the groin is can be effective as well.

Where are the men?
I stab my eyes repeatedly with my Emerson SOFCK, and boy! does that get the blood flowing. Then a little espresso rubbed into the wound and your ready to start the day.
This hurts a lot less than pouring Osage rub into my lamps.
Geez.

An unfed cat is the fastest way to wake up.

I must agree with the unfed cat as the quickest shure fire way to get woken up.
