For more years than I can remember, I slapped on some goo and scraped it off as quickly as I could, and shot off to work.
How different today.
I lather up, shave down my face and neck, lather again, shave up my neck and face, lather again and shave across to the centre. Then gently squeeze lather from the brush and apply by hand for a final, gentle tidy up. So that's four "passes' in all. And it all takes a lot longer than in my working days. But it is so much more of a pleasure than a chore.
Would I do this before going off to work in the morning? No way.
So is there a big difference between the retired and working shaving enthusiast?
