At last, doubling my shaves!

When I started shaving with the immensely cheap Gillette Fusion Five Blade Magic Ribbons Built-In Lubricant and Backside Trimmer, I maybe shaved once a week. Over the years, it went to once every three days. When I started out straight shaving one and a half years ago, I cut it to every other day. And last week, at 23 years and 4 months and a week or so, I finally reached the point in puberty where the hairs are ready to be chopped daily!

I'm so happy. Double the shaves, double the fun :rofl2: Now for doubling the amount of razors...

I'm 50, and while I could get barely away with shaving other day with the cartridges, with the straight, if I do my usual two passes, sometimes three...I'm literally good for two days.

Now if I wanted to get that military shaven look, it would be every day for sure...couple of members here have undertaken the shave every day thing...maybe one day I'll given that a try!!

Ah, Phrank, I'm not ex military, no longer in the work force, generally a semi-Luddite, semi-hermit, semi-anything BUT I shave everyday because I would be denied the pleasure, shear pleasure, of trying out a different razor in my rotation everyday otherwise. I love the ritual and concentration needed. It sets my mind and my day. (and at my age I need to remember each and every one of them)

Yes...that was the thought that was going through my head, the enjoyment of everyday...think I'll give it a try next week!

Thanks!

Congratulations Laurens, now you are a proper man. And it's good that you like shaving because soon you will sprout hairs in all sorts of odd locations, I had the pleasure of shaving my shoulders that other day. And my ears have quite a crop too, but I am not doing them with a straight.

Thank you, that is a great thing to look forward to. I already got the lower half of my body covered in fluff. I think the cause is heavy testosterone. Maybe I'm finally making some light testosterone for the upper half as well.

Bwhahahaha :rofl2:

Or wait, that's a good idea actually, because I could learn to shave with my feet.

But your balls would be where your head should be....
But then again if you are daft enough to shave your balls with your feet then you probably shouldn't be having kids anyway

Only because you're a gorilla and a 3/8 is just too awkward to use in your short, fat fingers :)...But Ed is right, the older you get the stranger the places the hair starts sprouting from...Although I've yet to have the hairy shoulder issue myself and the odd hair that springs up from the ear area is easily plucked away...I guess some people are just closer to their ancient monkey ancestors than others :p.

I'm nearing the end of puberty, not life itself where my scrotum and whatnot become all saggy. Another lovely prospect. By that time, I either hope to be covered in fur all over, defeating the need for walking upside-down, or hope for medicine to have a cure for alround sagginess.

Excercise in youth seems to be the answer, so I am stuffed.
