Shaved
I used shaving cream for the first time ever today. No, this doesn’t mean that before I shaved I looked like the second coming of the Wolfman. It means I’m young enough that by the time I hit the age where the peach fuzz wasn’t “mature” anymore, companies had developed the best thing since sliced bread, shaving gel.
Now, being my first experience with the stuff, it’s understandable that I made a couple of mistakes. First of all, the white top that looks like the button you press to dispense the shaving cream must actually be removed in order to reach the real button. It’s worth noting here that it only took me one failed attempt to realize this.
Secondly, the “portion size” required for shaving cream is much much different than the portion size required for shaving gel. This goes hand in hand with my next point that with shaving cream, the more you rub, the less lather you get. Conversely, with shaving gel, the more you run rub, the more lather you get. This is an important point that will not be lost on me in the future.
Finally, it seemed to me that the shaving cream actually made the shave a little smoother. Not so much the finished product, but the actual act of shaving. It felt wonderful, but it may just be a matter of doing something different. I don’t know, perhaps you have an opinion on the subject.
