Genius, I hope. Riches, oh riches come to me!

[Finless]

I had a eureka moment this morning (in 2 ways) whilst in the bathroom and I would like to test my theory by questioning any lads who are not short sighted and who shave (and any BSAC ladies who have given up the beard).

Do you shave?
Do you lean over the sink to get closer to the mirror to better see?
Do you shave before getting dressed?

Sink warmers; that is the solution to the problem us men suffer in the cold morning light. If going for a wee doesn't bring you down then contact with a cold sink will complete the job so even the ladies may get a fringe (and horizontal) benefit from my idea.

I envisage a basic and a deluxe product. The basic is a waterproof soft and woolly sink drape and the deluxe model will be some form of porcelain electric heater. Eventually, when I sell my idea to Twyfords etc I envisage sinks made with heating elements built in.

Of course, if the 'cold touch lean' is only a problem affecting those of us who are short sighted then I know my riches won't be so great. Even so, with all the genetic flaws being bred into the population now that those of us who can't see aren't eaten early in life I still think the market will be huge?

I'm off know to watch my on-line bank account balance move from the red to a long way into the black.

I had also thought of a Hewee with an inverted funnel and down pipe but I decided that was too much effort to clean and sitting down and leaning forward probably burns off a few calories and counts as exercise?

Can you not get an extending shaving mirror?

That way it can reach over and past the sink, or to a suitable level, possibly even magnified to account for short-sightedness.

If your worried about walking into the sink whilst attempting to reach across, create a 'pulley and lever' system to release the 'extendining' of said mirror.

(Get your hands off, I've patent pending it )

Never work. You have to lean over to ensure any clippings drop into the sink.

Anyway, I've just thought of another idea which ..................... hold on ................... patent application received .................... which involves a massager and creamer.

[Capt. Stable]

Thats true, unless you use a kind of bib, or a buffer around the sink (back to original idea)

as for your massager and creamer I'm not sure I want to know?

edit: Actually, if you were feeling technical, back to the pulley and winch system, you could use a Mission Impossible type harness to hoist you over the sink belly well above and behind contact level.
Desperate Times call for Desperate Measures as they say.

Careful Finless, ideas like that could either get you sectioned or have you so busy you don't have time for YD

Frankly I prefer a beard and standing on my head in the shower, that way accuracy isn't a problem and i don't waste time shaving, besides, the ladies like a beard.

Only lesbians?

I guess my solution of a towel wrapped around my waist (as I have usually just finished showering) is too simple

Well ....... I suppose .......... some of us have a sit down and a cuppa after their morning dunking so I'm usually dry by the time I have a shave (which makes life easier as I use an electric shaver).

Curses, a further depletion to my potential market.

[Capt. Stable]

Likewise Troc, but if its dark (for somereason) and the towel drops, you reach down by instinct to grab the falling veil so as not to scare any passing persons of a sensitive disposition - you end up smacking your face on the sink which you were straining over to shave due to poor vision....Oh the Horror...the horror...

Health and safetey perogative - whinches, harnesses and crash helmets (and a towel) are called for.

Oh, don't forget the other reason for my idea; the added weight of a wet towel on your ........ tent pole might cause the same structural problems as contact with a cold sink?
