Alright, I just shaved, for the first time in a week and a half. I grow facial hair rather quickly, and I don't really know what inspired me to shave, other than the discomfort of having a short beard. But, either way, I just spent the last twenty minutes with a one-blade disposable razor, hacking away at my face and neck, and then smoothing it out with my Mach 3 Turbo -- I'm still not sure if I'm alright with three razor blades touching my skin and vibrating against it. But it works. So now my face is nice and smooth (like Gary Coleman), but a little chewed up. And what do we use after we shave? Aftershave! Yes, that's right folks, let's make hundreds of teeny-tiny cuts into sensitive skin, then rub alcohol into it!
Anyway. I'm done. So......do you make a habit of shaving on a regular basis, or do you just go for the "whenever-the-hell-I-feel-like-it" schedule?
I keep telling myself I'm going to start shaving everyday like I used to (of course, had to on active duty), or even every other day like I did through most of high school (I've found my face to be smoother if I skip a day before shaving, instead of shaving every day), but I haven't, obviously, done that. Maybe I will this time. Doubt it, though. So far, I've just been waiting until I feel uncomfortable with my week-or-so beard, hack it all off painfully, and wait another week or so to do the same thing, instead of having a comfortable shave every day or two.
