Robert B. Parker's blog mentions columnists who, when facing deadline with no real topic of interest, put together a Thoughts While Shaving piece.  This has become my personal topic of interest for the day.

Guys, when you're standing in the bathroom wearing a towel around your waist and foamy cream on your jaw and cheeks, do you really think random thoughts worth mentioning to anyone else?

The possibility fascinates me, probably because, when I'm in the shower shaving my legs, my deepest thought is, "If I wasn't near-sighted, I could see what I'm doing".  This is followed immediately by, "Don't cut yourself".

Even when I'm out of the shower and can put in my contacts or wear my glasses, there's something about the lighting that isn't quite good enough.  I end up checking my thoroughness by feel.  Unfortunately, I often later find that I wasn't all that thorough.  Usually when I'm already at work, sitting outside in full daylight at lunch and look down to find that blatantly unshaven patch.

Deep thoughts while shaving must be a guy thing.

I will admit that I often solve stuck plot points or dialogue scenes soon after getting out of the shower.  I read an article once that water produces creative block-busting ions.  Works for me.  Either that, the concentration I give to washing my hair and scrubbing my skin with body wash occupies the left side of my brain and leaves the right side free to play and splash in puddles.

Back to those deep thoughts.  I like having them.  Makes me feel smarter.  Maybe we women experience our deep thoughts when putting on makeup.   Problems can be solved while we line our eyes and lips with an artist's precision.  Dust off cares and woes when we dust on some eyeshadow.  Aha, maybe there's a subliminal reason that I use a lot of products by the company Philosophy.

Thoughts while shaving, indeed.  Here's a couple for you.  Ladies, don't poke the mascara wand into your corneas.  Guys, don't sever an artery with a disposable razor. 

Had a thought -- deep or otherwise -- recently?

It must be cool being a guy. I never have deep thoughts while shaving my legs. You rock as a writer! :)

Mary, my deepest thought while shaving is how much I miss that morning cigarette and if Snooks left any coffee.

Nah, nothing deep here...just hoping the shampoo doesn't run into my eyes whilst I do the yardwork :)

I don't have deep thoughts while putting one my make-up, but I had a few creative ideas while in the shower!
