Thread: Delayed Gratification Technique

Gentlemen:

I shave seven days a week. Short of unforeseen circumstances, such as the world coming to an end, I never go without the daily shave. It's not because I have to for my job — I work from my home office and am my own boss. It's because of the overwhelming joy the morning shave brings into my life. I's now close to 5 p.m. here in the province and I can't wait till morning comes so that I can lather, strop a razor, and float into my private shaving universe.

Regards,

Obie

This sounds like a misguided effort although based in sincerity, fundamentally flawed in principle. Because shaving is good for you. Putting it off doesn't increase anything besides your misery. Your subsequent shave will be one of relief rather than one of glory - is that what you want? Are you a man or a mouse? Shave and don't look back!

Or you can continue on this destructive path and end up tripping over your own beard one morning wondering what went wrong. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I am currently having to shave on the same Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday schedule due to the heat and humidity here. I have sensitive skin and if I shave every day while its this hot I get horrible heat rash. I can't wait for cooler temps so that I can shave everyday again.

Its heaven to shave a 3+ days stubble. I have the biggest grin while stropping the straight razor. I have shaved everyday for work and I enjoyed that as well.
