Shaving is one of those bitter-sweet rituals that proves to be quite essential (and on an almost daily basis) here in the modern world. Unless of course you’re a Yeti or Keanu Reeves, in which grooming (or acting lessons) aren’t really a top priority. Some of you however were fortunate enough to have this invaluable skill passed on down from your pops or some other equally masculine figure that showed you the long and short of it all - but if you weren’t as lucky, you had to figure it out on your own and what a bloody mess that must have been.
Funny how as teenage boys we all wanted a thick, masculine, mature and rugged looking full beard. Then as fully grown thick, masculine, mature and rugged adults the very thought of having to shave each morning brings about a 5-o-clock shadowed sigh of menial resentment. Thankfully though, no resentment for me as I’ve managed to recently turn 27 and still only have facial hair comparable to that of a post-pubescent Spanish schoolgirl. However, I must say that I do enjoy shaving, I love the masculinity of the ritual and that post-shave “fresh” feeling that makes you want to hop a foot in the air and cluck your heals together in a Chaplin-esque delight.
