Thread: Am I alone in my Vanity?

None of that stuff works for me. My wife thinks I'm nuts, no matter how smooth the cheeks (the ones on my face).
My dad laughed when I told him I started shaving with a str8. He asked if I also wash my clothes with an old wringer with a crank.
No respect.
It's a lonely craft for me, my face, and the mirror.

creel that is a very slick way around it!! good form!

Guilty as charged. I exhibit all the same symptoms as above - constantly rubbing my cheeks agains my girlfriends to show how smooth they are, can't help but spend an extra couple of seconds looking in the mirror. Hey - why not. This is the 21st Century!

The other thing I have noticed is that if I miss a hair, or have a patch unshaved, I take it so personally!!! Its an afront to me that a hair should have escaped...

This thread turned out better than I ever could have hoped. I'm laughing everytime someone shares something like this.

Alright whiskers...you wanna go to war? Oh-kay. *pulls out brush and freshly stropped razor* Say halo to my lil' fren...

Anyone else find themselves doing this?

Yeah -- it's nice but I miss the bowie knife-shaved piranha-trimmed goatee days --
--- a nice shark skin (live shark) facial scrub was great too and of course Tabasco sauce post shave ----------thems were the days.

BTW Justin, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. I noticed my ride to work (live shark) smelled strangely of *gasp* lavender last week. Any idea why?

You say flat out that you were just telling yourself how lucky you were to have a flash girl like her and asking yourself what you could possibly do to improve yourself for her.

Then turn away from the mirror and look her in the eyes and say it like you mean it.

" Do you know why I work so hard at this shaving stuff? Its for you. It's always been for you."

From then on your shaving efforts are for her and not for you.

Enjoy

Providing she doesnt fall over laughing

And YES I do this too...
