Isn’t it great to be able to share a passion, to debate, ask for opinions, discover remarkable new things through talking?
People have the best craic chatting about sports, music, films, food or whatever they have in common. But shaving? Not much of a selection there…
Why'dya need more than one razor? Shaving brush? Can’t be bothered! You’re using soap TO SHAVE??
I hear people getting excited about IKEA! Or a fridge, a cat licking a spider caught inside a turtle shell, the speed of an electric toothbrush, a TV debate about toes or a proud hairy woman that needs shaving! But the actual shaving?
- Look at this gorgeous razor I just bought! Really rare!
- Aye mate, good for you. How much? Did you watch Ronaldo’s goal last night?
My shaving topic lasts 3 min. Then there’s the *caugh-caugh* signal, followed by a sudden change of subject.
At home?
- Are you gonna have a shave?
- Yes. Give us a pint, will you?
- Oh! When?? *shouting* Órlaith, go get your stuff from the bathroom NOW, your daddy’s having a shave!!
Let me get ready first, you’re gonna be there for ages!
Sometimes I speak about shaving at work. Well.. it’s a bit different, they’re colleagues, they can’t be THAT blunt, can they? So I say “I’m having my moment now! Try to stop me!” And while everyone’s on mute, I realise that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has their eyes literally popping out of their heads, staring at me like I’ve got 4 pairs of ears! And if, by accident, one miserable morning I show up with a stubble… Oh…
- You haven’t shaved today! (With a filthy, glorious grin!)
- Umm, didn’t have time. You haven’t shaved either!
- Yeah, but I don’t have 30 razors at home! (followed by a cheeky “haha” , then a full crowd cheeky “haha”)
So I was just wondering how‘s life treating you… Any close friends genuinely interested in your hobby?
Cheers gentlemen and keep shaving!
