    Rik,

    I'm not so sure that this is not a bad idea. Think about it. Shave in front of your computer, store it, and then watch it to see your technique! Sports figures have been doing this for years!

    Good point - I hadn't thought of that. Except I can see it now, some media type will hack into your computer and draw play-by-plays on screen showing how your form is off. I don't know; could be scary.

    Just be sure to use one of those splash-proof keyboards...

    My wife already thinks I've gone off the deep end with shaving. I can't even imagine what she would say about shaving in front of my workstation.

    My keyboard has already suffered under the hand of my two-year-old daughter. She accomplished this in under two minutes. I had just stepped out of the room when my wife heard snapping noises. Thanks goodness for good customer support although I think the giggling on the other end was a bit unprofessional.
    Take care,
    Rik

    Rik,

    I've been trying to neatly pry my keys off for cleaning. Can you get your daughter to call me to tell me how!

    Randy,

    After much badgering (pun intended) she finally revealed her secret:

    Remove keys as quickly as possible when no is around. As far as reattaching them, and I quote "I don't know".

    I think I would have trouble adjusting the on-screen image. I'm used to seeing a mirror image, while the screen is projecting a "corrected" image

    I'm too much of a nerd and would want a 24" HD monitor. Then AD would kick in and I would need a quad core processor with 12GB+ of DDR3 and video card with 1GB+ of DDR5.

    My home computer is a family computer...but if I was going to use it for shaving I know I would be such a nerd with upgrades.
