I think the speaker has gotten completely drunk the night before (among other things...) and probably the night before that in a conscious attempt to forget all his problems and mistakes. He knows that what he's feeling today is the consequences of 'forgetting', but will likely do the same thing over and over, because he doesn't want the memories.
In reference to the title, Barbasol is a brand of shaving cream, but the brand is also on body wash and aftershave. General clean up items. He knows he should shape up and clean up his life(style) but again does not want the memories of past problems/mistakes. There are other songs that use this brand to imply the same meaning.
