Relax...Take it easy...Enjoy the lather

[OldSaw]

Back in my drinking days I used to brew my own beer, (half barrel sized batches). Anyway, among homebrewing circles there is a mantra of sorts that goes like this, "Relax...Don't worry...Have a homebrew." Or if a batch didn't turn out right someone might add, "It's just beer. Make another batch."

So anyway, I see most of the guys who have been around a while have this kind of attitude about shaving. This is probably the most important part for newbies. Relax...Take it easy...Enjoy the lather. Until you develop your technique, allow plenty of time to get the job done without getting uptight. And if it doesn't turn out just right, relax...it's just shaving, you'll grow more whiskers tomorrow.

Over the years when I have been extremely tapped for time and completely exhausted I would use an electric rotary shaver. It was never relaxing, especially when driving.

This is why I usually shave at night, it is sooo relaxing. In fact as soon as I log off I will try to get upstairs before MBW gets home and spend some time enjoying the lather. It's cheaper than a massage and healthier than drinking.

Beautiful thought. Well put.

As I work on a pint from my keg(s) I have to think combining the hobbies is the best approach though.

(I would recomend the shaving first; then the brew ;)

There once was a man named Dave,
Who decided to drink and then shave.
He said with a grin, whilst lathering his chin,
Am I drunk, stupid, or brave?! :blink:

you know, Dennis, you're right. That's why I find my shaves take a minimum of 10 minutes. Notice I said a MINIMUM! :lol: :wink:

Let the shave tell you how long it should last. The shave is already there, you just become the instrument of the shave's reality.

The shave is real, the shave is a Zen space.

Feel the inner peace of the great shave, and become one with it.

Peace,

Pierre

I think I need a spell checker. I can't believe I misspelled "take" about 27 times yesterday. In fact I've been noticing a lot of typos lately, maybe it's time for a new keyboard...or computer. Yeh yeh, that's it. Must be the computer.

Dennis,

I have to agree with you that, so far, the best time for my to try to wetshave is the evening. I occasionally 'cheat' in the AM with a Mach3 type experience, but I find that I need the time and lack of pressure to properly wetshave in the evenings. Once I get better at it, I may be able to do it in a circumscribed time frame and in the mornings.
