So I'm shaving this morning, and my wife comes into the bathroom with a cup of coffee for me. I've got water splashed all over the counter. She says, "So this is why you call it wet shaving."

Master the art of Wet Shaving and ultimately get that perfect shave u always dreamed. Then your wife will be happiest person on earth. 
I always make a godawful mess too, lol. This morning (I shaved last night) I found a gob of lather on the wall. Behind me. Like, I literally would have had to flick it across the room. I know it was from last night's shave because it smelled of roses...
And good on your wife for bringing you the coffee..."Woman! I require indulgences! I'll handle the shaving, YOU bring the coffee! Oh...and hold the rum darling, I'm off to work..."

I get water all over the place too. Can't wait to have my own sink. Mrs. Leche was used to me hardly using the bathroom before wet shaving. I didn't shave at home. Now that has all changed.

SWMBO always admonishes me, "Stop leaving puddles!"
Knowing my propensities for making a colossal mess, I've chosen to shave in the shower. Not only does the mess all go down the drain, but the beard is softer, more hydrated than it would be standing at the sink. And SWMBO doesn't complain.
Separate sinks is good. Even better is separate sections of the bathroom. Don't know how I scored that in my house, but I'm glad I did. I have my sink and counter space and hers is on the other side of the shower. She even calls it her sanctuary. I stay out of her sanctuary and ask that she not comment on mine.
I'm with you guys on this, I leave a watery mess all over. It's a good use for that hot towel that has since cooled during my shave. I wring it out, wipe down my whole counter space and thow it in the wash. Problem solved.
I have a towel that I fold up and place between the sink and the edge of the counter. It catches a lot of the mess, and then when I am done, I open the towel up and use it to clean up everything.
End result? The sink area is cleaner and drier than it was before I started wetshaving. This makes SWMBO happy.

That's the smartest thing I've heard all day. I'm definitely adding that to the process.
I also make a real wet mess. I also use the occasion as an opportunity to scrub off the whole counter and sinktop.
It makes Gloria happy that the sink/counter gets deep cleaned every day and she doesn't have to lift a finger.

Even with my small space I have to do this to keep order!
I get water all over the place and once in a while I may fling a little lather over the sink, but all the way to the wall. That must have been one hell of a shaving session.

I use this technique a lot, because I have to use public latrines here. Although I don't have to clean up after myself, I like to practice good habits.
