Sounds Crazy

Good late afternoon gentlemen,

I know we talked about this before but this is what happened.So someone asked me why I shaved my beard off today. And to be honest I never really cared about having to shave everyday and trying to get that close feeling after a shave. Now I don’t know about some of you, but when I shave if I can rub me hand across my face or head ( yes I’m bald if you have not noticed) and I can feel stubble, it bothers me I will keep shaving till I have a smooth face and head, I want a nice clean shave 🪒. So it was always a chore shaving. Then finding the right shaving cartridges which l was a five blade person to get that closeness. That was expensive having to shave head and face and going through so many to keep that smooth shave.

But when I started watching men talk about safety razors and I remember my grandfather using them, and then seeing the amount of money I could save on blades I was like “okay I’ll bite and try it.”

Gentlemen it was scary because I never used one before and the thought of slicing my face or head. But I tell you the experience that I felt using the old fashioned soap dish, the brush , putting the safety razor together. And the shear pleasure of relaxing and taking my time. Yes I had to allow more time shaving but it was so peaceful. And man! The closeness of the shave, the cold compress after the shave, then applying some menthol Witch Hazel, then some aftershave lotion!

Now it’s something I look forward to every morning as part of my routine. Listening to some motivational speaker or a Christian message, or maybe some jazz music, but that time every morning just starts my day off in the right direction. And my wife loves the feel of my face and head after a shave.

So when asked that question, it was like “ I just love an old fashioned proper shave every morning.

Gentlemen when we take the time to enjoy the little things some of which we take for granted it makes a difference in your life. If you have not considered a safety razor shave or not sure about one. Next time you go to the barber get a proper shave, they probably will use a straight razor, but it is the same satisfaction you get with a safety razor at home. Who knows one day I might venture and try a straight razor at home.
