For the guys: Shaving at work?
Do you bother with it?
How do you deal with it? Shave at work, the night before, etc? I'm thinking of starting to commute on bike to work (just got my bike). We got a shower here at work but I'm thinking shaving might be too much of a hassle. Thoughts?

Usually shave and shower when I get to work. I leave razor, shampoo etc in my locker at work. Shaving the night before isn't an option for me, I'm a hairy beast.  |

Re: For the guys: Shaving at work?
Depends on how much energy I have when I wake up. I sometimes will shave before I leave in the morning. I cannot keep stuff at work, so I have to backpack everything with me each day. I have a travel bottle of shaving cream and razor, so I can shave at work. I mostly try to handle this at home, just because I hate hauling all that stuff back and fourth.

Re: For the guys: Shaving at work?
I too am a hairy beast, and also have to resort to using showers at work. I feel that its worth shaving in the evenings when I get home and having a bit of stubble during the day. This is one of the small compromises that we cycle commuters have to make. Anything is better than the Sardine Express (overcrowded train) or should I say Sardine Stppoing All Stations (overcrowded slow train).

Re: For the guys: Shaving at work?
I shave before heading off on the bike, and shower at work after the ride.

Re: For the guys: Shaving at work?
I could easily shave at work, but I always do it at home. I'm one of those guys that doesn't walk out the front door for anything without a clean shave and a clean shirt on, but that's just me.

We have a shower at work, so I shave in the shower. Doesn't everyone? Tom |

shaving in the shower is a huge waste of water. I just shave before the ride, shower at the office. Easy |

Shut off the water while shaving. It takes practice but its far easier to feel where you need to shave than to drag a mirror into the shower. |

If it makes you feel better I pee in the shower too. Just think of all the water I'm saving by not flushing. |

Re: For the guys: Shaving at work?
I'm an odd duck compared to all of you! I actually shower at home (and shave in the shower).
We don't have showers at work so I use baby wipes - I like to have a good shower as a "base" so that I can rely on the wipes to take care of a light sweat. After 22.5 miles into work I find just wiping down works great. |

Re: For the guys: Shaving at work?
We have showers and lockers at work. Only two of us bicycle. I shave at work but my coworker does not. I have used a rotary shaver for 42 plus years. I keep a shaver at work. I shave after my shower as I will get shaver burn if beard and face is dry. Have not been able to get by with shaving the night before for 40+ years.
