A Close Shave?

Shaving - a very cumbersome exercise in the daily life of a normal human being (male!). It can be a pest at times and here are some observations on the same
  • Not all hair-roots and tips seem to be aligned in one particular direction (how much ever you may want them to be)
  • Even if you practice shaving in one particular direction it doesn't seem to help. Sure it does make one feel that you have not shaved properly!
  • Randomly striking your skin like kicking a football around in a field full of opponents makes the skin burn and go bonkers in a few days!
  • Softening/ moisturizing and shaving - helps, but is time consuming and everyday? Yawn, too much of an effort!
  • Gillette safety razors rule! However they also don't solve the problem. Automatic razors? Forget them! They screw up everything/ anything.
  • Some hair-root patterns could be generated/ gained over time due to wrong shaving practices, however, that does not seem to be the case. On keen observation, I could clearly demarcate the patterns dependnce on the skin surface texture. Around corners the hair-root pattern changes abruptly and hence ones 'shave-angle' should be changed to avoid shaving the region again and to get a closer / close enough shave!
  • Don't care about a close shave? Sure, thats fine, I don't care about it most the time too! ;-)
  • I was amazed seening the 6 razored Gillette but am not sure if it will help solve anything. Anyway, lets see :D
