I need to shave more often than I do, but since I can't stand for more than about a minute at a time, it's annoying as all get out. (I have a shower stool I can sit on, with the added side effect of pulling me further away from the sink and leaving me below the bottom of the mirror.) I usually just use an electric shaver to reduce the Pando growing on my chin and neck to stubble, because I can't work up the courage to Properly Shave with even a safety razor, out of fear I'll cut myself, lol.
