So it is halfway through "No Shave November" , there are a lot of hairy people running around! It made me think that hair(body or head) is a persnickety thing. Everyone has his or her way of dealing with it. I am not really talking about just the hair on our heads, I mean it is pretty obvious that no two people wear their hair the exact same way. I am really talking about shaving hair... For example I hate having hairy arm pits! I shave them every night, winter, fall, summer, spring! It just makes me uncomfortable, granted I don't like having razor burn either..but at least it's not hairy razor burn, right? Any way...I know other people(yes men and women) that would never think to skip shaving their legs; I say PSH! If I am wearing pants- I can skip a few shavings- who is going to know? I will say the downside to that is when I decide to shave- I may miss a few spots...leaving hairs long enough that poke through the tights I wore to Christmas church last year...which is totally embarrassing to look down at your knee to see little hair soldiers standing at attention...I... uh... Ahem. So...shaving.. that is where I was... There are other people(stereotypically french, but I highly doubt they are the only ones) who don't shave at all! I know "they" (the omnipresent "they") argue all your leg hair would fall out- if you didn't start shaving at a young age. I have noticed my Grandfather has no leg hair where his socks usually are, but he is in his 70's. If you look like the offspring of Bigfoot and Chewbacca, you probably are not going to wait until your 70's for the hair to fall out! I mean, Really?
Ok, so we also know that there are other places shaving occurs...(or waxing, EEK) I get the bikini line for ladies- you really don't want little curly Q's hugging onto your bikini bottom or flowing in the ocean air. I think that falls under the category of leaving something to the imagination....Speedos and Thongs should fall under that category too... I mean if you have to wax/shave your cave then it is not worth wearing; however if you have walrus hairs hanging out of your...cave- then by all means get rid of those. While your at, you could get rid of the forest surrounding the cave. Also if the forest is climbing out of the back of your shorts- cut it down! Nobody wants to see the secret garden growing up your back. (especially if there is not hair on your head) I'm sorry, went on a little side rant..(If you are married to anyone hairy...you can understand.)
So, yeah, Everyone has his or her own shaving ritual, which is very personal to them. Whether it is how they shave, where they shave or how often. Me, I shave under arms nightly and anywhere else, well when needed. My hubby, shaving over the sink, allowing the hair to coat the sink, right before bed or company. See we all have different rituals.
