Shaving, Beards, and Other Morning Troubles
Dear reader,
Let me start by introducing myself. I’m Johan, almost 40 years old now, and I’ve been living for years in the beautiful Barneveld. During the week, I work as a Planner at a transport company nearby. On weekends, you’ll often find me mountain biking in the woods or touring on my BMW motorcycle.
I have been a loyal customer of Manandshaving for years. How that came about is a long story. I’d like to take you along on my shaving and beard adventures.
Do you recognize this too? Shaving was always a 'must' for me. When my beard started itching again after 3 or 4 days, I had to shave again. Phew, I often postponed it for another day. The next day, you stand in front of the mirror for minutes, hesitating and rubbing your week-old beard. With a 'reluctant' feeling, you decide to shave anyway. First, wet the beard, carelessly spray a big cloud of shaving foam from the can, and quickly spread it over the beard. Bored, I grabbed the razor and moved it quickly back and forth over my face. The sooner I finished shaving, the better. After shaving, I usually had a burning sensation and red spots on my neck. In short, not a pleasant start to the morning. A little aftershave balm softened these shaving irritations somewhat. A quick fix of my hair, and I was ready to head to work.
I believe I’m not the only one who dislikes shaving. Many men find shaving too much hassle. Because of the shaving irritations and burning feeling, shaving is a painful experience. Not really something to look forward to in the morning.
Johan
