Thanked: 2Anyone else having this issue?
Since I've started shaving with a straight I'm a lot more conscious of the whole process, I find myself becoming very aware of stubble when it appears and I'm finding that instead of being a chore, shaving is actualy something I look forward to quite a bit.
I think my favourite aspect of it is the satisfaction of seeing scraping after scraping of stubble wiped off on the towel and going back for more, in a kind of strange way it feels like somehow cleaning dirt or something off my skin.
So one thing I notice, is the current trend for these revolting hipster-half-beardy things, completely unmanicured or untended, just guys getting around looking like they've been asleep drunk in a ditch for a week, now that I'm more AWARE of it I seem to be seeing it EVERYWHERE, on TV, on the street, EVERYWHERE.
Thing is, the overwhelming thought that goes through my head is "ooh that'd be fun to scrape off".
I'm not sure, it might be a kind of weird obsession, it's a bit like the feeing I get when I see someone with a massive whitehead zit and I just feel this overwhelming urge to pop it.
Am I the only straight razor shaver in the world to have thought this or am I just the only one silly enough to admit it publicly?
