Thread: Funny honing story

HA! This is true for me too. My left arm hair doesn't get enough time to grow before I shave it off again. The plus side is my tattoos look great without hair there.

What gets me is my thumbs are full of vertical lines.

hooo, I am glad I'm not the only one with these kind of problems.

The best is inner thigh hair - you know that anybody that notices that must love you enough to forgive your little intricacies!

I'm currently recovering from being told I look like a freak. The hair from both arms and the back of my hands is missing. Also, the left shoulder, left hip, a bald patch on the right thigh, the left kneecap, the top of both feet, two patches on my belly (1 on each side to retain symmetry) and a little above the ankle on the left leg.

Hard to stop once you get started.

Wow, that's exactly what I'm hoing through right now.
My left arm hair is almost gone and both my thumbs are all sliced!

I'm dreaming of meeting the woman who will understand this apssion enough to let me shave her legs for her.

Interesting to see where that could lead.

I've met that woman and married her

I did a spit take when reading this thread! I just finished sharpening all the knives in my house as well as my Father's. At first, I tried to just keep with the hair that's normally covered by my watch. That was only good for about three knives. Two dozen knives later...

So, my wife knocks on the wall yesterday while she's in the shower, because her M3 is dull, and asks me if I've got a straight that she can use instead..... I calmly reply "sure..."

I go get my brush and some proraso, make tons of lather (looonngg legs.... and have her sit at the side of the tub. I lather up one leg, and show her how to hold the razor. She makes a few slooow strokes, and I tell her that it's better to use a confident stroke.... so she's doing fine, but I ask her to let me show her - and I shave her other thigh and calf, and she comments on how much better it is when I do it.... so maybe I can get some more leg shaving action in the future!!

But, she finished up almost all of the rest herself, but left the knees and ankles to do with the M3 and a fresh cartridge.

All in all not bad, eh?


Oh yeah, she really liked the way the brush and lather felt on her leg - she said it seemed like something they would do at a spa if they were shaving your legs. Maybe you fellas can use that as one of your talking points when trying to convince your significant other to give it a shot!

She asked if there were other women who did this - so I told her about the ladies on SRP, and that led to her asking the inevitable question of coochie shaving. She hasn't gotten up the nerve for that yet... but time will tell.

Sorry for the off topic - but I thought this was a good place to interject.

Cheers,

I'm sure there is a whole thread dedicated to the subject of shaving delicate areas, but I don't remember the name. Maybe there should be a club like the 'boker brotherhood' and 'butcher shop'
But what would it be called?
