    Default Spectacles?

    As someone that is very short sighted I wonder if any of you gents wearing your glasses whilst shaving?

    As long as the glasses dont get in the way, I see no reason why you couldnt. Having long sideburns might help as you wont get too close to the glasses when you shave then..!

    I wear glasses most of the time, but I take them off to shave.

    Yes I do wear glasses while shaving. I also have sideburns.

    I have pretty bad vision, but I have never thought of shaving with my glasses on. Often I shave by feel, especially in areas where the hand I use to stretch my skin comes between my eyes and the mirror.

    Seeing this thread, though, I may try shaving while wearing my glasses today.

    I where bifocals with large diameter lenses which would get in the way were I to wear them whilst shaving. Fortunately I see well enough to have no issues shaving without them.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I have worn glasses since I was a kid and I can't see diddly without them! I shave without my glasses on, you just get used to it as you learn to handle the razor. Trust me, it isn't as scary as it seems, you really don't need to see much !

    I am legally blind without my glasses and would need to have my nose plastered to the mirror in order to shave without them.

    I will normally tilt them up on my head so I can get my side burn area but that is about it.

    Thanks for the replies gents.

    I haven't worn glasses when shaving (with a DE) but i've been known to hit the mirror I get so close and end up with a nick. With a str8 in my hand I'm a bit more concerned that I could do worse damage and it just occured to me that it might be possuble to shave with them on!
