After a shave, my face feels smooth, but it looks like I have five o'clock shadow. I do have light skin and a dark beard, maybe that's why?

THAT was weird; it was like being 12 again, just for a moment. I couldn't even see where the hairs used to be....the next day I looked like I USUALLY looked right after my shave.

Was it a faded, red foam rubber ball?thatbrian said:WOW! That sounds like some shave! We need to know this guys "techniques and tricks".
Do you remember the location of the barber shop, I like to give him a visit..JohnP said:I have the same problem; in fact, while in SAR school a few years ago, I distinctly remember shaving (my edge gel days, but even THEN I did multiple passes) and having the instructors ask if I had shaved, and when I replied to the affirmative, I was asked if I had used a "rock"....

I have tried to match his results with varying levels of success, ever since. Got a decent shave at Truefitt&Hill in Las Vegas, but even they were no match for this guy. Compared to the skill level of a guy who has shaved heads of state, my feeble skills are like those of a child with fingerpaints.....

guenron said:A great deal of this depends upon how transparent or translucent your skin is. I don't know if most (or any) of you can remember the Great Debates between Dick Nixon and John Kennedy. Poor ol' Dick looked like an unshaved bum while JFK looked dapper. Had Dick's handlers thought about their real job they would have put him in a blue shirt and lightly talc'ed his visage. Who knows? Maybe he would have felt better about himself in later years and we would not have had a Watergate break in? See what looking unshaven can do to your life?
