Thread: Am I imagining this?

I have been shaving with straights for about 2 years now, lately it seems to me my whiskers seem to be either denser, growing quicker or more difficult to shave to bbs. Tell me I'm wrong!

Our beards are ever changing. At various points in our lives our bodies change a little here and a little there, perhaps the change was going to happen no matter what your grooming choices have been.

HAHA I was thinking a similar thing this week also as my stubble felt like if was stiffer or harder & even my hair felt like it yesterday
I'm putting it down to being Summer since it started on Monday also

Coincidence? I think not

I noticed this as well. I don't think my stubble has changed, I think I just pay more attention, now.
Let's face it, before traditional wet shaving, all I was looking for was to mow it down fast enough to get done as quickly as possible, and be passable publicly. I know I spend a lot more time and attention now. And I think it's logical to notice things we missed before, and think them new. MHO.

Does this happen with all razors in your rotation? I do not think BBS ever......makes shaving take too long as certain areas seem to stay HBB unless I attack them from 6 directions. The end of my shave is not just after I shave but say, a half hour later about 18" from the mirror.

ed, we all know it stands for Hairy Hog Balls.

HHG. That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

Hey FrankD, I have been str8 shaving for about the same time. I noticed that I am getting a bit over confident with the blade. I have been plonking the edge on my face and breaking the skin with little nicks. I am going to try and take it a bit slower just to make sure that I have started the movement before I put blade to skin.
