I shaved my arms sporadically when I was in high school. I was on the water polo and swim teams, and I was required to shave my entire body, arms included, at the end of the seasons to increase my speed and overall slipperiness. Back then, my...
When I was in middle school, I carpooled with a friend whose dad would vigorously mow his stubble with electric clippers while driving us through the busy, chaotic streets of Los Angeles. I understood back then — and I understand even more so now, as a highly...
There are a number of worthwhile tasks a ruler is very good at: To measure the length of a thing, specifically, a thing that is probably under a foot in length; for drawing straight lines; and for marking specific points on said straight lines, often in aid...
Crafting the perfect beard style is not as simple as keeping a clean-shaven face, which really only requires you to purchase the best razors money can buy, and then drag one across your mug once a day (with the grain, naturally). Perhaps surprisingly, keeping a beard is...
If there was one really annoying thing about shaving, it’s the unfortunate tendency to wind up with irritating little red bumps on the parts of your face where the prospect of irritating red bumps is most likely to maximize that annoyance. The neck, the crease around your...
