Hello,
It's been a while since I've posted anything here, but I have a question.
My issue has to do with drain issues as it relates to shaving with a DE razor and shaving. My sink is completely clogged up, so I started using the bathtub to rinse my razor off in. One downside to using the tub is that I noticed the tub was slippery when I would take a shower, which I realized was from the "slickness" of the shaving soaps I use.
Initially, the bathroom sink drain started giving me issues, then it was the tub drain, however, I've noticed recently that as water collects in the tub, it will build up just a little bit, but then I'll start to see the swirling around the drain. It may not even be building up. Before, when I was resorting to use the tub to rinse off my razor, it would take longer to empty, depending on how full the tub got. Just as an example, when I showered in the past, the water would be about ankle-deep and I wouldn't notice the tub was empty until the next morning. However, like I said, I recently noticed the swirling action in the tub and it is draining faster.
Does anyone have any tips when it comes to preventing clogged drains? I read somewhere that some people will cover the drain with either paper towels and/or a coffee filter so that the water drains, leaving behind hair and shaving soap. I also read somewhere that some men utilize two shaving bowls when shaving. Both are filled with water and the first bowl is used to rinse the razor free from the shaving soap and second bowl is used to rinse any remaining hairs out of the blade. Then, after a man is done shaving, he can utilize paper towels and a coffee filter to empty the shaving bowls into (as the paper towels and coffee filter are placed over the drain), in order to filter out the hair and shaving soap.
Does anyone have any other suggestions when it comes to keeping the water flowing down the drain while shaving and not clogging the drain with excess hair and shaving soap?
Also, what about drain cleaners/clog removers?
Thank you.
Korey
