Thread: You Will Get Bored

It is inevitable, there comes a moment into this "shelter in place" where boredom will rear its ugly head. There are many ways to avert this happening and I'm sure we all have those "projects" needing our attention but I can't believe we all have a never-ending list of them to keep us occupied. The big "B" will hit sooner or later. I am going to list possible ways to modify the boredom phase of this self isolationism.

Are you an avid hot water, hot lather shaver? Try a cold water shave (or any temp you haven't tried before.)

Never used an alum bar? Try it to check levels of irritation after a shave.

Always built your lather in a scuttle/bowl/cup? Try face lathering.

Got a brush you don't like? Try it again, maybe with a different soap.

And finally, only shave with your dominant hand? Try working on training your non-dominant hand. How? Well, for starters get a disposable razor (yes you can write that here) for minimal chance of cutting yourself and shave very carefully. It might take quite a few attempts (like we don't have the time and have to be somewhere else at that moment) and slowly that hand will respond to the repetition and become as agile as your good hand. Then switch to a safety razor (double or single) and finally a straight. Believe me, the time spent trying what we generally avoid for various reasons will pay off and your spirits will thank you. Plus you suddenly find you have new skills.

Additional suggestions welcome.
