Shaving for Step I

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
When am I supposed to shave and how often? Do you guys listen to Goljan while you shave or do you study from all the post-it notes of pharm drugs on the bathroom mirror?

What I did was scribble out the entire bacterial identification flowchart on my bathroom mirror using one of those whiteout pens so that I could study it while I shaved or brushed my teeth. However, since I only do either one of those things every other week, I'm really not benefiting.
 
If you're shaving and listening to Goljan, you better bring home a 220 score or higher. Seriously.🙄
 
Shaving? Haven't you ever heard of a playoff beard? Everyone knows the amount of hair on your face when you take step 1 will be proportional to your score.
 
Yeah, I totally recommend NOT shaving for at leat two months before Step 🙂 I had this ritual for both the MCAT and Step 1, and I rocked both--so it must work!
 
i have rigged an adapter for my ipod, electric toothbrush, electric shaver and a primitive speaker made of a refrigerator magnet and pages of the RR path so that i can do it all at once through a USB connection while hitting up UWorld questions...and i filled my NCAA bracket out with rate-limiting enzymes just to be safe 🙂
 
SDN does not legally condone shaving while listening to Goljan. This is not the proper forum for discussing grooming and hearing high yield contraband simultaneously.
 
I would suggest to shave once/week as there is definitely something calming about stroking your beard while you are stressed and studying. Also, it is a must to listen to Goljan while you shave as that extra 5 minutes/week will make or break your score.
 
what about for girls? should i not shave? 😀

Forget the girls and rock step1 first. During your third year, you have all the time in the world to bang-the-mucous out of nursing and PA students in your rotations. If you don't have a girl friend now, i suggest jacking-off with porn to ease the tension or you can go get somethin from the streets-though it'll probably burn while you pee after that.😀

Since we all know guys and girls are opposites, girls need to shave as much as they can. I would suggest twice a day, but that is just to be safe. I heard that listening to Goljan while doing it is an efficient way to manage your shaving time.
 
you kno, i don't think i have time to shave either though. im just gonna let it all grow out and braid it if it gets in the way...:laugh: i'll listen to goljan while braiding my armpit hair... much safer than listening while shaving!
 
Hey what are you guys doing for food? I haven't eaten in about four days because of studying but Im getting kind of hungry
