A E I O U-left U-right
Project Shaving.
What a project! This is one task even those who guys who are in bench had to perform everyday.
A shaving project on your lovely cheeks with a new razor is a cake walk. Now, a project with a used razor is a different ball game altogether. It usually differentiates the stingy middle class man from the rich pampered kid.
In the history of mankind, no other project is synonymous with terms like ” Concentration, Determination, Dedication, Devotion, Pareto’s Principle (80% of the shave in 20% of the time and blade blah blah…)” as vividly as the prospect of a shave with a razor used many times.
Have you wondered about vowels? A, E, I, O, U are not just vowels in the English language, but also our facial distortions when we are close to attaining Nirvana in our shave.
Try saying A, E, I, O, U loudly in front of a mirror and you would know what I am talking. English is a language formed by a group of men, I had no doubts once I got this point clear. And no wonder they are part of every single word in the English vocabulary. That is why guys always get the vowels right in spelling. It is the consonants which are a headache. Typos and all….
Significantly, U has 2 variants -> U-left and U-right;just like C-Minor in music. And this is a step which would have a substantial impact on the ‘user experience’ and the ‘look and feel’ aspects of the project later on so be please careful with this U-twins distortion.
If only I am to write something which mankind would be cherish for its intellectual rigor and sagacity, my first choice would be ‘Shaving Patterns’, on the lines of Design Patterns.
Even men find it hard to tolerate men with beard. That being the case, the real 8th wonders of the world are those wonderful women who consider male bears as their husbands! Expertdabbler recognizes this great act of selflessness and courage in the face of adversity by the women folks. Hence as a mark of respect to all of them, this post is dedicated to Usha, wife of Vijaya T Rajender!.
I want to write more on this but its already morning and I have a razor which was used more than twice. Gotta go for the project kick-off.
Catch you later folks!

Maintaining a beard is more difficult than shaving everyday. I guess you are used to using it only once. Frankly it isnt as difficult as you think to use it two or three times.

pk, this was as creatively written as possible. as a matter of fact, i just shave in 5-7 mins and have to shave only once in 4 days. so, it really does not get on my nerves… but i know of a friend who - like visit mentions - had to shave twice a day. within 2 hrs after each time he shaved, his cheeks used to be as good as sand paper used to clean wood surface! how frust can that get?!

RC,
i shave once in 2 days minimum. the problem with thick beards is that cant use the readymade razors.
i’ve used that but nowadays i stick to the old fashioned 7 0 clock blades. the advantage is even if u skip a day, the blade is still effective.
