You'll Never Guess What I Just Did...

...so I live in a house with a number of other people, and only one bathroom. I often get complaints...usually something like, "Why do you take so long in the bathroom?"...well, with a bit of inspiration from a few B and B threads, I decided to make a stand of sorts...

...a few days ago, I was reading a thread in which a member here was talking about shaving while on extended camping trips. It got me thinking. So today, I threw together a little shave kit, filled a 2 quart pitcher with water, and found an old tin bucket that came from a green pepper planter. I went outside, and shaved. It was nice. The birds in the background, the slight breeze. Peaceful. There were a few downsides though: 1) The mirror; I used the one that comes in the Weishi case...it was a little too small. 2) I used palmolive, but didnt use enough water for the first pass, so I got some of that chunky stuff stuck in the razor (not the end of the world, mind you, but still...) 3) My brush; I used the little AOS brush that came with my free sample kit, and its just too floppy for a face lather with a stick of palmolive. I may try a similar set up tomorrow, only in my room. What would be great is one of those sets, with the basin, pitcher, and large mirror, that you see a lot in antique stores...

...anyway, a great shave. My standard BBS, with just a tad irritation on my neck line...oh well...

Everythings better outdoors in my opinion...

I might do this in the summer.
Must remember to get dressed though.

That is something that I might want to do one of these days, should be nice to do one of these days.

Excellent and different atmosphere! Well done.

Sounds relaxing on nicer days, though a vanity (a manly man's vanity) would do the trick on less fair days...

There's always a problem, isn't there?

Depends on how far away your neighbours are.

My nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away. Can't see my house from the road. I could shave on the front porch nude and do laps around the house to dry my face and no one would care!

Now I have got to try this, if for no other reason than to see my wife's face. Can't imigame her looking out the window at the bird feeder while taking her first sip of coffee and there I am in my robe face full of cream and a razor in my hand... Yeah on second thought this might just backfire...

Some Saturday or Sunday morning, I will definitely have to give this a shot. Now...backyard or front porch?

is it necessary to do laps? couldn't you just drink a nice beer while you waited?
