I had an experience while getting my hair cut that has stuck with me for the past few days. The pretty young lady who was cutting my hair made a comment about my face, then ran her hand over my cheek and asked how I shaved. She was impressed how smooth it was, and said something about not being able to achieve that herself. I told her about the pre-shave oil massage, and the importance of a high quality lather. I told her I prefer a Super Badger brush for a bit of stiffness and exfoliation, but that she would probably prefer a Silvertip Badger brush for its softness. I described how to whip up the lather in a small, warm bowl like my double wall insulated stainless steel palm bowl. She kept asking questions about how to shave, which direction, etc. I responded the first pass should be with the direction of the hair, typically down the leg, then against the grain on the second pass with more lather. She responded she wasn't talking about her legs, with a flirty smile and a quick look down between her legs. I quickly jotted my phone number on her card and let her know I would be happy to personally assist her in learning the best technique. It is a matter of trial and error, as all men know, to figure out how to get the perfect shave. Still waiting by the phone. I think I need to get my hair cut again!
OK girls, quit giggling. I can be delusional about my self image, right?
