Thread: Interesting statistics on shaving

From a blurb for a book. "The Art of Shaving" by Myriam Zaoui


"The average man will shave approximately 20,000 times over the course of his life, spending the equivalent of 139 full days doing it. He will shave off 27 feet of hair, from a total of 30,000 whiskers on his face. And he will probably be doing something wrong. So he will suffer nicks and cuts, ingrown hairs, and rashes; his five o'clock shadow will arrive before lunch, his neck will be irritated and red, and he will get razor burn. Instead of reaping the benefits of a daily grooming regimen, he will only suffer. Needlessly. "

I roughly calculated you would have to shave every day for nearly 55 years to get to 20,000 so don't think that is entirely accurate of the average man. Started counting the whiskers on my face, but gave up at 11....
Totally agree that most men who shave will be doing something wrong.
