We are going through some really crazy times: wallets light and bills on the rise, not to mention mortgage and prices at the pump. OK, stop beating around the bush. What does this have to do with shaving brushes?
Most of us are chasing shadows as we try to get our house in order. So how are shaving brushes going to help me?
Coming to it…
Well, let me start on a philosophical note: ‘Embrace life and it will embrace you.’
But do we have time to enjoy the small pleasures of life? – Let’s ask ourselves. No shaving brushes yet.
We are in the age of instant breakfasts and instant coffees, and even instant weddings, remember Dennis Rodman of the Chicago Bulls. You must be thinking where am I getting to with this and the shaving brushes…
Well, most of us want to be pampered, look good, relax and have a good time, don’t we?
Now it’s my turn to ask you a question…
How can you forget the soothing touch of a shaving brush dipped in a tub of hot water and doused with English shaving cream?…
Imagine the morning sun on your face all drenched in soothing lather just waiting to reveal the baby skin beneath it?
A soft brush on my skin would make my day…Yours too, if you still love your wet shave routine.
Shaving brushes are the keepers of the wet shaving regimen. Most lovers of wet shaving would treasure their shaving brushes like an original Swiss Army knife.
OK, now I guess, you may have an idea of where I was getting at with the ‘Shaving Brushes’ treatise.
The bottom line is that we’ve forgotten the old art of going with the flow: enjoying the little wonders of nature, burying ourselves in a soft pillow, and sinking into the soft caress of a shaving brush.
March Madness or April Madness – Crazy times will always be there.
Shaving brushes can change the way we look at a day: slow, gentle, loving, and most importantly, a much-needed exfoliation – a perfect start to a new day.
Shaving Brushes – Badger or Board? Veterans know what I’m talking about. Any self-respecting wet shaver knows the joys of shaving with a badger hair shaving brush.
‘Badger to boar’ is like ‘silk to nylon’.
The soft caress of the badger hair shaving brush – Memories last a lifetime. So, go for a badger hair shaving brush, even if it’s cheap.
Shaving Brushes – The Good Old Days
OK, let me ask… How many of you have had breakfast at IHOP (International House of Pancakes) lately?
One hour breakfast: double omelet, french toast, pancakes with maple syrup. So far from a Burger King Drive.
How many of you have traveled from Windsor to Quebec by Via train? French wine and cheese, 5 course dinner, walk down the aisle, across streams and over bridges… Away from LAX, Heathrow
Along the same lines, I must ask you: How many of you have felt the bristles of a shaving brush lathered with good old fashioned shaving cream?
If you can answer yes to any of the above, your life is close to normal.
