Music is a steadfast part of my daily shaving routine. Always has been.
And so I wonder if there are any like-minded musically inclined shavers out there ...? If so, please post in this thread, and fill us in on your routine.
I know there are some out there: for example @Beto Salatini always posts his shaves accompanied by a visual of the weather forecast for Sao Paolo, and the music he listened to while shaving that day. Very nice report format on the shave, thanks mate ..!
I myself almost always shave daily, in the morning first thing when I get out of bed, after a quick shower.
I select a "brush of the day", and razor and blade of the day. (Soap selection very limited as I use the same few soaps 90% of the time).
And, I then need to select the music to go with my shower and shave. I almost always listen to live streamed internet radio on my smart phone while in the bathroom. Then, once I have finished my shave, I turn on the internet-radio in the kitchen, find the same station, and continue listening to that station while I brew my coffee and have breakfast. (listening to music on the radio is also a great way to get to know music I was not familiar with)
I usually go with either Jazz or Classical, and mostly either radio stations based in Denmark (DR P8 Jazz, or DR P2 Classical), or a couple of radio stations based in Seattle (WA, USA, close to where I used to live in Victoria in Canada), either "King FM" (classical), or KNKX (News and music, usually Jazz or blues).
In this way, I feel the music is an integral part of my shave, and just adds a dimension of atmosphere to my daily morning routine that I don't want to be without -- a bit like the scent and menthol kick of my aftershave .... It helps me wake up, find a positive mindset, helps me face the day, find the groove ...
I thought it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to this subtle dimension of shaving, so please feel free to fill us in on how music adds to your shaving zen routine ....
Thank you.
