Is it safe to shave in the shower?

[Fat Tone]

I don't mean from the danger of falling on the razor, but I heard it can be un-hygenic if the shavings get caught in certain orrifices!

Anyone ever had a problem?

Depends what you are shaving I suppose

[Gurm]

Umm... with getting my beard stubble in... THERE?

No, never had that problem. Then again, it tends to be facing AWAY from my face whilst the shaving is going on.

P.S. I _have_ been stabbed by a stray whisker though. THAT hurts like hell.

Only Problem I have is that might nick myself If I'm not careful..plus I dont use a mirror

He's quite right. Other than that, I suppose you could always just enjoy the water and wet your beard (or whatever) first, then shave it, and finally thoroughly wash yourself to clean away any shavings and other crap you might have gathered on (and inside) you ?!?
Oh, and please don't use any of those Philishaves and beard trimmers in the shower

If there's an asumption here that we are talking about foreskins, then the (male) person that mentioned it to me doesn't need to worry about that

Is anyone else wondering how he got stabbed?

[Ant]

I certainly hope we aren't talking about shaving foreskins

[Fat Tone]

Eeewww!

Well I certainly wouldn't want to use a cut-throat razor in the shower.
Slippery floor, slippery hands..you might not come out with all the same bits you went in with.

Stabbed - as in I had put off shaving for like a week, so the whiskers were long, strong, and hard to cut. One of them went astray and got poked into me.

Haven't you ever been stabbed by a bristly hair before? Hurts like hell! They go right into your pores... ouch!

And... if we ARE talking about foreskins... this goes to a topic that I've wondered about for a long time now... do you foreskinned folks WASH under there? I mean, the shavings can't get "caught" in there if you "rinse" in there, you know? I mean, c'mon! It's like saying "yeah if I put this chunk of carrot in my armpit it will rot there". Of course it will, if you never wash your armpits! Mein Gott in Himmel!

I dont have that piece of skin either...but I get your point there Gurm.

[Gurm]

Actually, according to a link that dZeus forwarded to me, a large percentage of teenage boys with foreskins DON'T know to wash in there.

That's scary. I feel for their girlfriends.
