Photo: Hair Dryer

My mom used to cut woman's hair when I was a kid. I was immediately reminded of this when I happened upon this hair dryer at the Fall Yard Sale at the local state hospital.

Look, I realize I'm no metrosexual, but I've realized something about shaving that someone else may find helpful. This realization came about because I became interested in the idea of traditional wet shaving. I began wondering, "What could be so fabulous about traditional wet shaving?" "What's the physical difference?" etc.

While traveling, I shaved with a shaving gel instead of a cream, resulting in a better shaving experience. I realized the real difference with the gel is that I lather it on my face, effectively working it into the skin.With cream, I would simply apply it like so much whipped cream on a sundae.

It seems reasonable that the primary difference with wet shaving is that the face is better conditioned for the shave by working the shaving soap in with a brush.

I tested my theory by working the shaving cream into my face for a minute before I began shaving. The shave was far better than normal.

Maybe this is still a far cry from true traditional wet shaving, but spending the extra time is well worth it.

Poo exhibit brings down a power line and vandalizes a children's school. That's some crazy shit. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

A few reminders for myself:

Decide if you want to watch/listen to Neil Gaiman's, The Graveyard Book (most likely not.)

And convince the family that they want to see City of Ember
