This ever happen to you? Shaving in total darkness

That would be weird. I think I would cut my losses and rinse off if it happened to me.

Must have been a true "zen" experience. The buttering toast sound of razor cutting stubble must have been deafening.

+ 1 but sub in wild for weird. That you went on to shave is awesome!

I would have bailed and shaved over a bucket on the boat.

I think with a DE I would have finished a single pass, but with a straight I wouldn't have even bothered to try!

Well, I had already started. Plus I don't have a mirror on the boat so I figured, "what's the difference? Can't see either way."

Not sure I'm that brave yet!

Had to do it here in Houston after Hurricane Ike took out the power. It's not too bad actually, with a bit of experience you tend to shave more by feel than sight anyway, same as if you were using a DE or cartridge razor.

Not shaving but it has happened to me when I was sat on a toilet doing my business!

Between gravity and flowing water, I'm certain that the whole process went off splendidly.

congrats. I mean just the other day I was wondering if I could shave in the dark with the muscle memory I have developed so far. I mean you really can't think about it much or you lose your actual focus, the memories and strokes. It's like driving a stick shift (manual transmission car) while drunk in the backwoods. Sure you can't concentrate but it's almost second nature. bad analogy?

If the lights went out in a community shower the least of my worries would be the closeness of my shave.

True stunt shaver.

Slash, where have you been?

My thoughts exactly!!!

But joking aside, I don't think I could do it with a straight. A DE would be no problem. I don't use a mirror in the shower for that anyway. But I have yet to work up to shower shaving without a mirror with a straight.

Ahh, I see Slash posted this in 2012

Hey, I was just following Tony. Blame him. You know I can't read.

As I was reading through I was a bit puzzled, considering this was coming from the guy who shaves blind-folded.
As dark can dark be, blind-folder should still be darker.
Still an impressive performance. I am not aware of anyone else here trying to replicate Slash's stunts.
