This past year, I had a lot of “first” milestones: first walk, first solo drive, first shower, and now, first complete shave. This is more of a laziness issue than anything else but I haven’t shaved with a razor for over 18 months. Since I started PD back in April of 2019, I got lazy about shaving. Often I would wait over a month to shave, and invariably, the whiskers are so long that they jam up my razor and it takes forever to shave, further discouraging more shaving. Finally I went out and bought a cheap electric trimmer on Amazon for $20. That trimmed close but not as close as a razor but I just left it, so for 18 months I always had a stubble.
While taking a shower today, I decided to bring the manual razor and shaving cream into the shower. In the past, I typically shave in the shower anyway since it makes clean-up much easier and your skin is already warmed up. Anyway, now it feels weird not to have any hair on my face after getting used to it for so long.
