I'm not a particularly hirsute individual so I can get by with random shaves throughout the the week. A few buzzes here and there with the electric and the occasional blade touchup in the shower and I'm about as presentable as I need to be.
But Sunday night is different. The weekend's wrapping up and there's usually nothing going on, so that's when I set aside some me time. After a good wash I lather up with Edge and reach for the 40+ year old Atra - I don't know who those 2 clowns in the current Gillette commercials are but back in my day we were grateful for a double blade and we knew how to use them! No rush, no hurry...leisurely, mirror-affirmed strokes with a firm yet gentle hand yield serious, blood-free smoothness every time. Then a good rinse followed by some brisk toweling and it's like I've kicked more than a few years to the curb.
Y'know, at this point I was really tempted to write, "And then I move on to my face..."
