Thread: How to clear out a bath house 101

I know this is show and tell but on this one I am just going to tell.

I loaded up the truck hooked up the camper and loaded my wife, grandson and his friend for a extended labor day weekend camping trip. What I thought was going to be an average trip turned out to be one of the best trips of my life. Looking forward to shaving took on a whole new meaning as well as taking my sweet time. It all started with forgetting my shaving mirror.

Day 1 I was up in the bath house after the morning rush as I had forgot my mirror and was shaving at the far end sink. I had grown men stop so fast that their shoes made a squeaking noise and some even left marks on the floor. You would have thought I had a chain saw and hockey mask as they quickly did an about face.

Day 2 I thought what the heck I had so much fun the day before I went during the morning rush. I have learned that a Straight razor can clear a bath house quicker than a bad fart!! At this point I have gained knowledge and relish the fact there is no reason to hurry a good shave.

Day 3 Cy my 9 year old grandson and his friend were brushing their teeth armed with a Scooby Doo and Transformers tooth brush while I was shaving. We were all talking so one brave man went as far as using the toilet for his morning constitution. After completion he used the first sink at the end to wash up, by choosing so he bypassed the soap dispenser that was in the middle of the 6 sink lineup.


Day 4 The campground had mostly cleared out and my wife knew why I was headed up shaving early. Had another great close & relaxing shave. However was sad there was no floor show.

Its mean and I know it, but I can’t help myself, it is just too much fun to watch the sequence of events while grown men experience testicular reduction in front of me for absolutely no reason.

Besides watching the campground wannbe RAMBO’S in their surplus store camouflage do the Pee-Pee shuffle outside the door waiting for me to clear out is the cherry on the cake.
I suppose the logical next step is to strop my razor and talk to myself while throwing in a giggle every now and then just for the sport of it.

As a foot note word must have got around. During our time there people would avoid eye contact when I was walking or riding my bike around the campground after the first day. Thus I have now made a permanent move from shaving at the camper to the large mirror at the bath house I now own for as long as it takes me to shave.
I suppose I am taking advantage of what our world has come to – Oh well

Sorry I wasn't there. I would have been the first person to stand, gawk, and ask everything I could about what you were doing. And generally make an ass of myself in the process because regardless of my age, the sight of something new to me is the childhood curiosity rekindled with the need to know everything I could about it. Too bad there weren't any man "man enough" to speak to a stranger in a public bathroom to satisfy his curiosity.

I also would have ask questions or gone on with business as normal. I don't understand running away from a 54 year old man with a soft mid section
just because he is shaving with something I don't understand.

I do this all the time too! its FUN!

Good story. Had I been there I would have given you a knowing nod and went about my business.
No one has actually seen me use a straight razor but many of my friends have irrational ideas about it. It reminds me of the average person's fear of snakes.

People are odd.

Awesome story and a funny one at that. I showed a friend of mine how I shaved with a straight. He knew I liked them but he really was tickled to see me use it. He is 74 yrs young and can well remember his dad using a straight.

thats great. wish i could have seen that!

This is just too funny but the opposite could have been a worry. Imagine a crowded room with guys bumping into you during the shave. Nahh forget that , was never gonna happen .

This is most likely going to upset a few after reading this. I have put much thought to this and have moved from amused to concern for all men.

I think I would have preferred to have a couple of guys ask questions or just watch than got the response I received. IMHO I think the response fits the typical neutered male syndrome that has been enacted on us since we were told to be closer to our feminine side.

Through my life I have watched the destruction of Men and now there is a sharp decline of Guys. What I am referring to is the bonding men had through events – Camping, Hunting, Ice Fishing, Sailing, working on their cars Etc. These bonding sessions have been replaced with the Wife - Girlfriend included on these trips if they even happen at all. Their influence has altered our ability to bond with other men for fear the (Other Half) would disapprove of our actions or even feel neglected, thus our sons know no other way to act.
Think about it, the best one man can hope for from a stranger is the (sudo macho nod) while walking by.

I suppose the reason I like Straight razor shaving on my face is a women can not do it unless they are over 30 and most likely of Mediterranean descent (Not to disrespect but a fact). And most of those women unless Americanized want their men to be and remain men. OK that is it for today’s soap box speech. I look forward to the squealing scurry of the sissy boys on my next trip
