Thanks, I'll try that. We got a pair of Gillete promotional disposables somewhere.
I shave after showering for the same reason. (*)

My wife shaves her armpits with one of those single blade old school razors exactly like that in the second picture of the first post.
I've tried that one on a day's harvest (when it had a pristine new blade, obviously) but was not too pleased; one bleeding wound per square centimeter or so.
But let's see what it does after ten minutes of semi pointless buzzing.

(*) About showering.
I used to let it run for 20 minutes or so, completely forgetting about time.
I spilled a lot of water and heating gas that way.

Now I use a shower timer set to 5 minutes. I start the timer, shampoo the hair, open the tap a little bit to add just enough water to make it foam, then soap my hair and my body.
Then I open the tap and while waiting for the temperature tpo rise before getting under it, I wash myself with the foam. When it finally gets hot I go under the stream and clear off the soap.
If I do this all well focused I am rinsed clean of soap and shut the tap even before the timer erupts. But sometimes I fall back into old habits and then the timer breaks it and puts me back on track.

We got the new water and energy bills a few months ago. And a nice refund on our monthly payment, that now has been downgraded substantially.

I like to think that I save a lot of energy and money by driving carefully and changing cars and so. But the change in my daily shower routine likely saves me more than all the effort I put into eco driving.
