I just learned last night that my roommate shaves AFTER his shower. Do people really do this? gotta shave before so you can shower all that hair and shaving cream off after…

pretty sure about 99% of people go before the shower…. cant just be me
Yeah I know this is a wasted blog, but here is the thing about me. My job isn’t just to provide countless hours of free entertainment to the Stoolies. I have a social responsibility now to be informative and improve people’s lives. Because you know what they say. With great blogging power comes great blogging responsibility. So for any assholes out there who shave before they shower I just want to let you know you’re doing it wrong. I realize Matt may be the only moron who does this, but I got to believe if there is one idiot out there than there are probably more. Bottom-line is this isn’t even up for debate. It’s just a fact that you shave after you shower because your skin is softer and you don’t rip your face off. For anybody doing it the wrong way this is life changing advice. Here endeth the lesson.
PS – If you don’t use Gillette Foamy I don’t even want to know you.
You are a fucken retard if you shave before you shower. That is the equivalent of taking a dump after you shower.
No. Take a hand mirror and a razor into the shower and shave WHILE you’re showering. 200% the way to go.
why is “during” not an option? oh we’re talking about facial hair
Shaving during your shower is the correct answer. Hot steam and water works wonders.
shit shave shower in that order u dumbass
Matt is retarded. I shave in the shower. If I didn’t have that mirror than it’d be after the shower.
What’s with all these gay hygiene and clothing blogs?
That’s why all the shaving commercials show people wipe the shower steam off the mirror before shaving, I’m a post shower guy living in a pre shower man’s world.
I shave during and I shave it all
i bet renee shaves her pussy in the shower
Shaving after showering is the way to do it. Softens the hairs. Anyone who shaves before showering probably doesn’t need to shave in the first place. Like the Irish.
The demographic of Barstool shines. Must be some pimple faced 17 year old. Steam opens the pores for a cleeeeeeeean shave.
I can’t believe this is even a question. The bar soap vs. body wash is at least a legit debate. Anyone who shaves before they shower is an idiot.
100% before the shower
100% before the shower
shave before you shower 100%. cleans everything up
100% before the shower
why the fuck would you even consider shaving before showering? makes no sense.
Lesson to both of you : shaving in the shower is right, everything else is wrong.
Grow some balls and just shave in the shower, then you don’t have to waste money on shaving foam
Vote: in the shower. Sans vitriol
your father should have used a condom
Only sociopaths and neil shave before they shower
Shit. Shower. Shave. Basic fundamentals.
It’s “shit, shower, and shave” and it’s been that way since we were cavemen and no amount of misquoting the order is going to change the essential truth of it. Anybody fucking it up, clean up your act.
During or after are the acceptable answers. Anyone who shaves before a shower is a masochist who probably takes it up the ass.
You shave in the shower u stupid fkin hat
who’s the asshat that keeps clicking thumbs down?
who are all these poor people who still shave with blades? You shave before and with an electric. Shaving after a shower, an electric sticks to your face. Did just buy a wet shave electric, gotta give that a try.
i’ll shave whenever i damn please you hook nosed jew.
In the shower, plus it keeps your reflexes sharp when you drop the blade and it’s headed for your dick
Matt lets homeless men shave his asshole with their tongue before showering.
Pre-shower shave all the way. Had no idea so many people did it after. Learn something new everyday
In the wise words of Lil’ Wayne: “I wake up in the morning, take a shit, shower, shave. Stand over the stove and whip it like a slave.”
Pre-shower shave all the way. Had no idea so many people did it after. Learn something new everyday
It’s “Shit, Shower and Shave” for a reason…If you’re shaving before your shower, it’s probably the peach fuzz on your vagina.
God damn iPhone
I’m with you el pres, 100% after you shower, no question,
I honestly never even knew it was an option to shave after the shower
Tony Go Hard shaves after like you read about. Ergo, that’s the way to do it.
Shaving before showering…Thats like wiping your ass before you shit
before the shower…but you must hot wash your face first to get the in shower steam effect…then shave, then the actual post shave shower to heal all abrasions from the shave…perfection
drink bourbon
eat porterhouse
Shaving in the shower is the only way to go. Kind of like beating off with a finger up your butt. Once you try it you never go back.
elpresisatool… I meant to thumbs down your comment but my trackpad tricked me… so you should have zero thumbs up
Barbasol or die
real men don’t need shaving cream… warm water and soap.
pussy.
Hitler shaved before his shower. True story, razor burn and bumps like a bitch, totally pissed him off. The entire fucking holocaust could have been avoided if you could go back in time and blog this to him pageviews. You could have spare cousins running around and shit with yamicas.
Only an absolute lunatic would shave first. Anyone who does that was probably an Eagle scout and took karate lessons growing up.
1000000% BEFORE showering, If your a real man you have somewhat of a beard so you obviously need to get all that hair off???? plus you can clean your face much more effectively and give it the after shave after washing your face and you will never break out
Before always you cunt face. then you apply aftershave lotion.
P.S. I tried to use Gillette but every time I do Eli Manning shows up and stares at it and it shits its pants and blows up.
And your living in the fuckin stone age if you use a razor… or your just poor as fuck and cant afford an electric razor
If you don’t shave after you shower, then you’re essentially going to the sink twice, which is inefficient and highly retarded.
Electric razors don’t get nearly as close as blades.
shit, shower, shave. dry off, wait for the face to cool then go over it w/the electric.
if you shave before you shower you haev to be the dumbest fuck to ever live in america.
who are these people that are covered in hair after they shave that they need to shower? just wash your fkn face once you’re done.
shaving cream? pussies. just water and mach3 is the only way to go
Shave during, started doing it a few years ago, total game changer. Don’t even need a mirror in there. Once you’re out of the shower you line up the sideburns an check for missed spots.
Hot water in the shower is the only option here. If you buy shaving cream for anything other than emergencies you’re doing it wrong. Hot water in the shower, lotion after.
You mental midgets shave before your shower, then put aftershave on? Then shower?
Um, yeah, that doesnt work you know.
ive been wanting to do the in shower shave, too lazy to buy a mirror though. no way i’m shaving w/o one and cutting the shit out of my face phneyhero.
I’m amazed at the number of assholes that shave before they shower or even in the shower. If I shaved in the shower I’d look like a disheveled homeless guy…all patchy and shit. Some of you must have facial hair like a 16 yr old boy.
brick, unless it’s one of those fog free mirrors shaving in the shower would be a disaster. Like shaving blindfolded.
Once again, shaving cream is for pussies. You are all pussies.
Shit, Shower, Shave…debate over
@jackman15_99 — electric razors are for pussies. You are a pussy.
Absolutely before. to shower after and leave that thin oily post shave shaving cream layer on your face is just stupid. During shower is acceptable since the shower doesent end once your done shaving so its essentially still shaving before. Thats how u miss spots though so thats stupid too.
tornopen, WTF are you talking about? Unless your beard is the thickness of a peach, shaving cream/gel is an absolute must.
hate to sound gay, but water opens your pores bitches, that’s why we shave after showers.
Shave before shower. I think we need to put this to a vote because I’m shocked so many guys shave after.
In the shower. Anti fog mirror stuck on the shower wall. Solves every single problem you can bring up about pre-shower shave and post-shower shave. Boom.
Am i missing something here? How does one shave in the shower, tried it twice, never seen a mirror that you can see anything in while showering…..either i am missing some crazy non steam mirror or its all people who have yet to hit puberty and get real hair…..After FTW
brick… I literally never needed the mirror. sounds like a lunatic move but works better than you think. Also Kay is right. Putting after shave on then taking a shower? talk about a fucking maniac move.
Some electric shavers work better on dry skin before the shower. But if you use a razor and shaving cream before the shower I don’t know how you’re alive.
there is only one right answer…smoke a bowl, take a shit , take a shower, while in shower use shaving oil, after shower rip another bowl then shave with the art of shaving kit. wash with cold water…done
Oh and another thing, any asshole who shaves before or after they shower are probably the same lunatics who turn the water off while brushing their teeth.
@tornopen Your either 14 or make little to no money lol get a real job and you will upgrade to the big leagues af shaving
Only Jews with no facial hair shave after the shower
does pres write these blogs to himself so the comments blow up? playing chess.
Shave before showering, and forget ever using aftershave. Useless product.
Electric before and razor during = the only civilized solution.
agree^^ why the fuck would you ever shave after the shower. why would you wash your face only to put shaving cream on it then wash it again afterwards??? shit, shave, shower (wash face in shower), done, BOOM
Shit, shower, shave. Isn’t this what normal human beings do?
jesus christ like 8 dudes commented in the span it took me to write 3 lines
Only people ive ever known who shave after are generally shaving nothing but there spic-staches… Fact
Only real excuse I ever heard for not shaving in the shower is from hippies that are trying to save water or theyre just plain homeless and aint got no showa.
so the shave after argument is water opens up the pores….are you unable to put water on your face before you shave before the shower? do 2 hands suddenly appear attached to your wrists after you shower?
@chudwick, good question, and here’s your answer: get in the shower, dab a finger on your wet bar of soap, then run that finger over the mirror and rinse a little (if necessary) = clear as day. It’s been my routine for as long as I can remember. If you don’t do the soap trick, there is no way to see no matter how “anti-fog” your mirror is (at least in my experience).
if you use an electric then you shave before. Anything after in the shower or post.
If u don’t NEED to shower first and/or an electric razor gives u a good shave, just use tweezers u fuckin child.
Electric razor before the shower. In my 32 years I’ve never once used a blade on my face. Sounds like a giant pain in the ass.
Anybody who is unaware that the shower opens up your pores improving the shave is a certified frittata.
Electric pre-shower to get the excess hairs off, manual post-shower.
Jack-man u couldn’t be more be more braindead if u were fuckin Terry Schiavo in a casket. U shower first to open the pores because if u have actual facial hair u can just take a box cutter to your face outta nowhere.
You shave in the shower or you’re just dumb. You don’t need shaving cream and only retards miss spots. You shave for a little bit and then run your hand over your face to see where you missed and then finish it off.
And the foggy mirror thing is easy to solve. Rub a little soap on it. Boom.
You’re all soft. I shit, shave, shower, and bolt from the house while you pretty boys dick around with electric razors, and gels, and foams, and after shave, and pre-soaking, and shower shaving, and wiping down mirrors, and whatever-the-fuck. Yes it hurts a bit and clogs the razor, but that’s why I keep two going at all times. One self-cleans under the faucet while the other is scraping.
Mach 3 pro glide with gilette foamy before you shower, then wash your face with neutrogena invigorating face wash in the shower. Aftershave is for gays. You’re welcome.
wtf? “Shaving before you shower is the equivalent to shitting after you shower”???? Shaving is equivalent to shitting you fuckin’ tool. You gott wipe your shave shit off your face. Let me shower….then put this crap on my face and shave, then shower all that shit off again. Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Shit, Shave, Shower.
You guys are all psychos
a shave before a shower is like a handjob with no lube.. its just not fun
peyton well done
Pre-shave routine is key whether it is after the shower, or no shower at all. Never before the shower. And buy damn safety razor, takes a little longer, but a much better shave and you don’t have to buy those damn Gillette cartridges for like 30 bucks a month.
Why is this sooo fucking difficult, you’re in the shower you pores are open, shave, rinse you’re good. Why would you get out of the shower and put soap/gel all over your face AFTER it’s already clean ans soap free
fucking barbarians
Pres love yah even if your a bastard from boston but your definitely right. Have to let you know though that gilette shit is for the birds. If your not using billy jealousy you might as well be a caveman. Liquidsand face wash and then shave with there lotion perfect match and for a mogul like yourself throw on there face lotion to get and feel like you own the world not just think you do. Viva la Stool (yooouuuuuk)
not owning an electric razor is like not owning a smart phone. get with the fucking times. i’ve had the same electric razor for 7 years and have never needed to oil or clean it once. probably the best investment i’ve ever made. anyway, electric razor = no choice but to shave before you shower.
Amazes me that shit like this gets over 100 comments. Who knew shaving habits could be such a polarizing debate.
shave BEFORE the shower is like Hanukkah without the Manischewitz. Like Matzo ball soup and no matzo balls!! hehe – right guys? ha ha where my Jews at?!?!
You shave during or after the shower. All you fuckin muppets who shave after the shower are clueless. The hot water opens the pores therefore making it a smoother shave. I mean jesus christ are people this stupid?
before^
In the shower is the way to go and it’s not even close. This is what I use and it’s the balls:

I can deal with shaving during, that’s completely reasonable, but if you shave before you’re an asshole.
Here’s a tip for all you rookies! Get a shower mirror shave after ten minutes while you are in the shower. Your face will be soft and you can wash the shit off while your in the shower!
Duh!

hawffa I’ve been looking for tips to become a better shaver, do you have any?
Shower, shave, go back in shower to rinse and re-wet hair for product application.
Shaving before the shower is the biggest Hardo move ever.
Depends, Face or Balls?
I do both. If I’m in a hurry I’ll shave pre shower so I don’t have shave after and can just throw clothes on and go. No need to clean the shaving cream off and waste precious seconds. If I’m taking my time, post shower for all of the above properties.
This isn’t a black and white world gentlemen. Look at Mo.
I shave before the shower. I also wipe from the front.
Does Renee shave her butthole? I bet it’s mad hairy.
I’m not going to weigh in on either side of this debate here but why the fuck would opening your pores have anything to do with your beard? hair grows out of follicles, dumbasses. not pores.
Second of all, jaymariotti you fucking asshole i am SICK of reading the fucking comment section here and as soon as some asshole posts the same thing 8 times some DOUCHEBAG comes in and makes some variation of THAT SAME FUCKING JOKE! its almost as fucking bad as the multi-poster. fucking stop you uncreative whore
I’ve been shaving in the shower for 15+ years, especially a no brainer now I shave my head.
As a military man this evolution will be conducted in an orderly military fashion by the god damn numbers. Shit shower shave. You show up to basic, boot, OCS, Service Academies, ROTC and conduct this evolution in any other fashion you are one fuckced up individual and you will be squared away.
I can’t believe you cunts can’t figure out how to hit submit once.
Haha @ kingpin and numero two. Priceless! I’m not weighing in on either side. But I will say real men use a straight razor (barber shop style, not that pussy ass plastic and metal shit that Gillette and Schick make). One blade. All metal and sharp as hell. Real men aren’t afraid of a little blood. Prez, you should be good with this considering how often Renee tells you she’s on the rag to avoid sex. Bitch must be bleeding 364 days out of the year
I’m used to try to get out of the shower sooner, and then I ask myself, ‘Why?’ I mean this is where I want to be. So I got a waterproof phone, I shaved, I brushed my teeth, and now I ordered a pair of chinos from J. Crew.
DURING is the correct answer. Anyone who needs a mirror to shave is a certified moron.
all you sackless fucks are doing it wrong. shit, steam room (because im not poor), shave, shower. ass clowns
If you don’t want to rip your face off spend more then 35 cents on your razor you cheap jew
pres you’re a faggot. do you shave your pussy before or after the shower? or in it?
After the shower, used to shave before when I was young til I got put on by some older heads
Eat. Beat off. Turn ipod on. Shit. Shower. Shave. Brush Teeth.
to the dude who shaves with an electric razor, i remember when i had peach fuzz too ya fuckin twat
People shave their own faces? So uncivilized. If you aren’t having your driver stop by the barber on the way to the office you have failed at life.
if the electric is all you have your opinion is not valid tomas kaberle. nice try with the pores nonsense, if youre shaving your nose or forehead then feel free to open your pores. otherwise shave whenever you want, but for fuck sakes at least use gel or lotion. creams for war veterans and rookies
What kind of fucking idiot shaves pre-shower?
Don’t do either, I shave in the shower. No mess. Just touch up after I get out. Also brush my teefers in the shower. Gives me a reason to take a longer shower.
I’ve never seen a more highly debated topic in the history of the stool. Thursday- Marry Fuck Kill- Shaving before, during, or after. If before wins I’m boycotting the stool, that will tell me the majority of stoolies actually are fucking crazy.
Woah, mirror in the shower is a pretty common thing? Who are these people?
Shave IN the shower, douches.
preshower shave. gets everything off
anyone thats shaves after they shower might be the dumbest mother fuckers on this planet…shave ur fucking face then go in the shower to rinse it off are u fuckin stupid ohhh let me take a shower and get clean then ill start rubbing shaving cream on my face and make a mess again…..1. its hard to rinse the shaving cream off your face completely..trying to squeeze ur head under the faucet and shit get the fuck ouuutaa here fuck head. 2. shaving opens pores and sometimes even cuts u why the fuck wood u shave and then walk around getting dirt and scum in ur pores and cuts…oh yea cause ur a fucking asshole. anyone who disagrees go fuuuck yourself u fuckin hambone suck ur mothers dirty clit bitches
