1) Shag
2) Shit
3) Shower
4) Shave
5) Strong black coffee, with croissant and fette biscotate with Nutela, jam and honey, yoghurt with cereal added, maybe a banana or scrambled eggs if a heavy day ahead. Maybe another coffee for good measure.

I woke up around ten o'clock in the morning I gave myself a stretch up, a morning yawn and Went to the bathroom to wash up Put some soap on my face and my hand upon a cup, said Mirror mirror on the wall Who is the top choice of them all there was a rumble tumble, five minutes it lasted the mirror said, "You are you conceited bastard!" Well that true, that why we never had no beef THen I washed off the soap and brushed the gold teeth Used oil of olay cause my skin gets pale and then I grabbed the file for my finger nails I'm true to the style on my behalf I put the bubbles in the tub so I could take a bubble bath Clean, dry, was my, body and hair I threw on my brand new Gucci underwear For all the girls I might take home I got the Johnson's Baby Powder and the Polo Cologne Fresh, dressed like a million bucks, put on the Bally shoes and the fly green socks. Stepped out the house stopped short, oh no Went back in I forgot my Kangol Then I dilly, DALLY, I ran through the ALLEY...

My rushed morning begins as soon as my cell phone alarm sounds at 6:15 am. I quickly get out of bed and jump in the shower. After 10 minutes, I jump back out and shave. I use these razor blades: http://westcoastshaving.com/index.ph...products_id=26. They work like a charm. I finish around 6:35. I then get dressed, grab a muffin for breakfast, and I'm out the door by 6:50 am to get to work on time.

maybe - conventional wisdom is that the shower softens the hair. I hate shaving when I haven't jsut showered, but that may be just the way I have been conditioned. if it works for you, do it

Nope, I do it too.

I usually tend to apply some baby oil before shaving, and then take a shower. While taking my shower, I usually tend to find out if I've left out any part of my face unshaven, so that I can go back and make sure that it gets taken care of.

I shave under the shower, but then again my skin is thick enough to withstand a shave without shaving cream...

As far as the ritual goes,
get out of bed,
morning p...
set coffee machine(takes a bit to warm up)
make cereal
eat cereal and drink coffee while watching cnbc(really, dutch news sucks)
pick clothes for the day
shower(I shave and brush my teeth under the shower)
first moisturizer
get dressed
second face cream(dry skin, so quite nessecary)
pack the bag
off we go!

Yep. But i usually get shaving cream all over my face, and just splashing water and washing it doesnt give me that fresh and clean feeling, so id rather shower after.

Haha +1. There are always spots that only appear after the shower, for some reason.

Try olive oil. Much better than baby.

Typically: - Make coffee (café press) - Shag, if there's time and opportunity - Cigarette and coffee - Shit, enforced by cigarette and coffee - Turn on 8 o'clock news on the radio, take it into the bathroom (waterproof radio) - Shower; shampoo and shave (I shave in the shower, at the end. Fog-free shaving mirror, Gillette mach III, no frills.) Moisturiser, deodorant, EdT - Dressing, collecting lap-top, mobile, keys, wallet, sunglasses, etc. - Run for the bus or tram; or every Friday, I try to remember where I parked my car the last time I used it

Typically I am up at 5:30 am 5:45 run 2 - 4 miles, and whatever other exercises I choose to do that day 6:45 shower then shave and brush my teeth etc. 7:00 get dressed and help get either/both of the kids get their breakfast, milk and/or set up watching a show so my wife and I can continue to get ready until the babysitter arrives. 7:15 eat yogurt and a prepare a slice of toast with peanut butter to eat in the car on the way to the train. Pour coffee into travel mug (I set the coffee timer to brew the night before). Pack lunch into my briefcase (Lunch is prepared and packed the night before) 7:30 say good bye to the kids grab my things and drive to the train station. 7:44 relax on the train, read the paper and drink my coffee.
