There’s nothing like a good clean shave to start your day off right. A well-shaved face leaves a good impression with potential clients and lady friends". This written in the early 1920's when having a beard was to the least a long lost art. Now if you can catch a man without one it can be a surprise. They seem to be coming back! Shaving is one of the activities men must endure in order to win the heart of their lady. My wife has told me that I cannot have a beard or mustache. In other words, she would not kiss or do anything else with me, if I had one!
Men in general are passive creatures in many respects, on we love our football games, Boxing and Car racing.
But there has never been a sport that should be center around shaving, and I am not sure there ever will be. I fear shaving and maybe that’s why great men in the past avoid it.
Abraham Lincoln, Brigham Young, Benjamin Harrison all had beards, To a lesser degree Clark Gable, Walt Disney had mustaches! These men I would consider cowards in the men’s shaving world! Oh, they were great and wonderful men, but to get them closer to a razor is not going to happen!
Even in Lincoln and Young’s day the thought of someone coming at you with a straight blade razor would frighten anyone.
I just realized a few hours ago how frightening I look when I shaving and I am not sure women can understand. Unlike woman, Men faces are nothing like women legs! Men have allot more bumps and curves that women do not have. Women have lesser degree than men and angles we have to get around are dangerous. We even have to deal with angles women would never attempt. The old Adams apple that women do not have always presents problems to men.
But to me the cuts are the things Men have over women in everyday. They are far worst than just sticking old toilet paper on them. In someways, it is a badge of honor to shave when your enemy is a razor that is about ready to give your face a battle. The Face is ready, the arms and hands that control the razor is ready. But the razor is thinking "I am not ready" and for that it has decided it will make your face look like something out of a world war battlefield.
It is something to be seen as you look into mirror and watch the epic battle of man against tired old razor and who will come out ahead? You look into the mirror and you look like a deer in the headlights as you drag that razor down the face. What is far worst is the guy in the mirror was getting ignoring to the point I was ready to smack him for staring at me shaving. Anyway, your not sure your going to make it and the razor certainly has other plans and you begin the first cut near your adam’s apple, from there you slice up your face to the point that surrender is the only thing you have left!
These are epic battles of man against beast, they are smaller battles than the one with a woman! But as you begin to realized that a even bigger battles could happen, if you put that razor in the hands of the woman. Don’t even go there!
