Music to shave by?

[MistaCat]

Since shaving seems to be the "zen" moment of the day... some time to myself... I've been listening to Yo-Yo Ma during my routine. It helps me get into the right zone.

Does anyone else add music to their shaving routine?

This morning, I was enjoying Jularlington with some jazz. Man, what a great start to my day

Sinatra of course.

definitely a good choice

Oo--good idea. I'll have to track down my CDs. (We just moved, a lot of things are out of place.)

I've just recently started adding music to the mix as I'm now a dedicated night shaver. Here lately it's been a lot of chillout music; Hammock, Stars Of The Lid, Loscil, Helios, and the like.

I keep a portable radio in the bathroom, and usually turn on talk shows. Depending on the time and day of the week, it might be something on NPR, or perhaps local chatter from The Jersey Guys, or else Coast To Coast AM with George Noory.

If I'm getting styled up to go out to a nightclub, I'll put on Top-40 dance music to get me in the mood. Some stations broadcast live from the clubs, so I can get a good idea of what sort of crowd is going to be there in advance.

But the best sound to shave by is Silence. So you hear nothing but the Whrrrsssh sound of whipping up some lather, and that satisfying Scrrrrrrch sound as you harvest your stubble.

Music always seem to give a mood to the shave. So far the best ones seem to be instrumental pieces, Cliffs of Dover, and Devil Went Down to Georgia.

The absolute worst has been when the random list pulls up something like Slayer or Dragonforce, not reccomended while using cutlery.

Sinatra + Shaving = Bliss.

Except for that damn album, September Of My Years. Yes, I can get a smile out of listening to "Man in the Looking Glass" while I'm looking in the looking glass, but as a middle aged codger listening to "Once Apon A Time", "It Gets Lonely Early" and "September Song"....

O.O Dragonforce would be downright /dangerous/!

I love Devil Went Down to Georgia, but am not sure it's quite the right tone for shaving.

Instrumental - definitely.

Great topic Mista! I must admit, I don't have that luxury all that often but I think the last time I did I was listening to some String Cheese Incident.

Man, I'm deff hitting up myspace music and sampling every band I never hears that was mentioned on this topic at work tomorrow!

As a harmonica player myself, I tend to listen to a lot of blues harmonica music while I shave. I have a portalbe speaker connected to my MP3 player, and it's the greatest thing ever.

I always listen to music when i shave, even when im in the shower

 

[SiBurning]

Air on the G-String. Works best with a straight.

 

[rm71]

I like listening to Creedence.

"Jokers to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you"

Definitely not, especially if using a straight.

Amen brother.

I like to bring my laptop in and listen to the sounds of the movie 8 1/2 by Federico Fellini. Sometimes I'll do other movies too. Barring that, a little bit of Opera or some Technology News.

These days, it should be this one:

Usually on Saturdays and Sundays, I put the iTunes on "Jazz" and shuffle!
