    Default Shaving rage

    Am I the only one who gets extremely angry over a bad shave and lets it ruin their entire morning?

    A bad shave does not really ruin my morning, but I do get a little angry over one.

    Only if there's a bad case of razor burn involved..........
    I'm not bald, okay? I shaved my head. Do you "unda-staand"?

    Doesn't make me angry at all. Maybe a bit frustrated, because I have slipped on technique, or tried a combination that doesn't work. Honestly, my shave is one of the best parts of my day

    Not angry, but definitely annoyed and out of sorts. If things go south it's incredible how much time I will dedicate to analyzing my shave for hours afterward.

    Shave related.

    Was out of town recently and never packed any AS. I'm a recent convert to using AS; never saw the point for MANY years but B&B has helped me see the light. Anyway, now I'm hooked. Went without for a few days (at least I still had a DE, brush and Proraso soap) and then had to go out and get some new AS.

    For me, with DE there are no bad shaves, some shaves are just better than others.

    Amen to that bro. After years of dealing with cartridges and blue goop, it's just varying degrees of heaven every morning.

    Only when I have to change shirts if I get blood on one. Fortunately, that doesn't happen very often.

    A sub-par shave makes me feel a bit self conscious, probably without reason as I doubt if many others notice. Haven't had a really bad one in quite a while.

    After a bad shave I usually find myself wondering why was it so bad?

    Not raging or angry. I get annoyed then I analyze it so I don't make the same mistake again. Lucky for me my trouble area is low on my neck so if I get a little overzealous or don't watch myself that's usually the area that it shows and it's easily hidden by my work attire of a dress shirt and tie.
