Hi everyone,
I've been reading threads on here about guys teaching their sons to shave. Or people who were never taught and found there way here deep into their shaving life and who vow to teach their sons better.
But I was curious. Will you also teach your daughters?
We ladies on here discussed this before, about how we were taught to shave and for the most part, we were given little to no instruction.
Personally, I was away at Irish summer college and all the "cool" girls there shaved so when I phoned my mum at home I asked her if I could too. She said okay so I went out and bought a Gillette for women and the goo to match and away I went. I remember lying in bed that night rubbing my calves off each other marvelling at how smooth they were. I remember that feeling to this day.
I guess maybe for girls it's easier to just pick up a cart and go for it, and perhaps it's just my self as I am now wishing that someone had sat down and taught me to shave properly. Chances are though, if I had pulled out a badger brush and a Lady Gillette at that Irish camp I would have been teased even more than I already was there (I f-in hated that place).
Chances are if I did that now anywhere I would get some strange looks. In fact I have and have. But most of my close friends know about it now and accept it.
Maybe I just want to share the passion I have now with someone new to shaving. Someone young and more confident in being unique and different than I was back then. (Nowadays I get called "odd" and "random" so much I don't even bat an eyelid. I'd used to being a bit quirky by most people's standards. I kinda like it
)
So how about it guys and gals? Will you let your daughters take the easy goo and cart route or do you feel it would help them to see the light from the get go?
