Thread: Have you begun to notice how stubbly everybody else is?

Well I guess I got sucked into the fold as well, sort of, always used a DE, ever since I started shaving 1980ish. But I bought into the canned gel stuff. Now not even 14 days ago i made the switch to SR and shave soap and cream. Shaving was a chore to get out of the way, now I look forward to it. Afterall I have to test out all the new stuff I "have to" buy

I haven't exactly done that, but I have found myself occasionally searching for the telltale nicks of a wet shave on some people.

Not only do I notice, I make a point out of commenting on it as often as I can

My business-partner has actually never shaved himself clean, all he has ever used is an electric beard-trimmer.
He uses that once a week, and every week I comment on his scruffyness towards the end of the work week!
To his credit, he has never given in yet, not even once.

what i never knew was how pathetic a shave i was giving myself all those years-of mostly intermittent shaving.

and dangit now, can't wait for another day of stubble to appear. i'll take a week or two off for deer season-that'll give me some "impressive" stubble to whack with the SR.

Yes.
It looks like people reject the shaving routine and in same time uncomfortable with the beard grooming.
I think it is the lack of care. People don't want to care about themselves and lean to easiest way - trim the stubble once a week when it starts itching.
Wet-shavers - people who do care. Face topography, whiskers pattern, lathering thickness, blade sharpness etc. etc. etc.

My uncle. Yesterday. looked like he'd hurriedly whacked at a two or three day stubble with plenty of speed and zero accuracy. little patches all 'round.

My pal yesterday with his normal weekends growth. He _has_ brushes and some old SR's, but hasn't indicated wanting to try DE yet. I forgot to take him a loaner. He's one who has bump issues, (and a new wife-who is out of town presently) She might help him remember to shave gooder once i get him started.

I do not so much notice everyone else...but I sure find myself rubbing my face a lot thinking of ways to get it smoother, and more uniformly shaven.

I am not looking forward to the day when I get it 100% smooth to the most discriminating feel, for then I will have nothing more to learn
