As someone who's shaved over the sink for years, I've dealt with the hassle of stray hairs everywhere and the risk of clogged drains. Luckily, there's a straightforward, proven trick to eliminate post-shave cleanup.
The solution? Line your sink with newspaper before you start.

1. Place newspaper directly in the sink.
2. Shave over the newspaper so hairs fall onto it.
3. Once done, crumple the newspaper into a ball and toss it in the trash.

Your sink stays clean—no scrubbing required! Any stray hairs wipe up easily, preventing pipe clogs and keeping your bathroom pristine. It works great for at-home haircuts too, saving you from partner complaints about the mess.
For even better results, use two sheets of paper towels spread across the sink.
Moisten them slightly first—the damp surface catches hairs more effectively.
After shaving, ball up the sheets to wipe away any missed hairs.
