Do you ever catch yourself feeling and admiring ;your new freshly shaved face. I caught myself at work doing it the other day. One of the women caught me doing it, I even offered her the chance to feel and notice the fine shave. I just hope I wont be required to go to therapy after this.
Faceturbation at work may be a bit problematic, especially when you are inviting others to join in!
I know but it was just such a great shave I could not help myself. This could be a addiction. I just bought 2 bottles of new colgne, 2 things of new shave soap, and a fancy tube of after shave balm...oh well worse addictions
Yes but think of all the money you are saving not buying cartridge blades or canned goo!
Anyway, that's the miserable rationalization many here have used.
Oh, and speaking of rationalization...

It just hit me Goldblum played the exact same role in Jurassic Park. Have not seen the Big Chill in years. Do have the sound track somewhere.
Back to the OP.
I rub my face after I shave to see if any cleanup is needed. Doing a face rub in a crowded restaurant might well get you some quizzical stares. Therapy is probably not the issue as some sort of HR sponsored work place rules may be in store.
I would keep it as private as possible. Offering work colleges to feel you may send the wrong idea. But yes I do like to feel my freshly shaven face.
IIRC, Fitzgerald's Gatsby invites the narrator to look around the restaurant at the other men, demonstrating that none have "composure." The convicting evidence? They all touch their faces.
I'll bet Gatsby did it at home, though.
I do it all the time, not just for the feeling, but the scent too!
I'm guilty of this too. I find myself stroking my BBS face and neck. I must also admit, that on occasion, I've invited others, not just the wife, to feel my face. One or two have taken me up on the offer. I'm working on converting a few to SRs.
you have got to learn to do it in a way that no one notices. like you are thinking.

I definitely do this. It's still amazing to me how smooth a shave I get with a SR.
I do the same thing after a great shave. Hopefully you female co-worker doesn't report you to the HR Rep. Remember it all about being politically correct these days.Quote:

Since I work mostly in my home office I can do it whenever I like - and I like it alot! When I'm somewhere else I do the thinking trick. Sometime around early afternoon I can feel the stubbles coming back and feel the next time when it's time for the next shave. While doing that waking up in the morning, I think about what tool, soap and AS to use. Sickning, isn't it? :hmmm:
Don't feel alone, I posted this awhile back.

If I'm not mistaken but I think I invented the term "faceterbation" in this post. But I may be wrong.
Perhaps a tad more civil than...."hand-job"????!!!;)Quote:

Nothing extreme, mind you.....but in reference to that BBS from (fill in the date/time.....)....it just "don't cut it" (pun intended...!!:))!!!
I guess shaving, like a certain "12-Step" program.....is aimed at PROGRESS....NOT PERFECTION!!
Close shaves should SOOTHE ya....NOT SCARE ya!!
If I recall correctly I read a report sometime back that stated humans touch their faces, on the average, close to 2,000 time a day. What reasons were not made clear, but in our case it is to satisfy our egos that we got a damn fine and close shave that makes us feel slightly akin to the Gods.
