  • You skipped a few steps, Maria.

    First get a washcloth and take it with you into a nice hot shower. Put the razor where you can find it with your eyes shut. Lather up your hair with some nice-scented shampoo. Spread some of the lather to your face and rub the stubbly areas with the washcloth, to get the hairs lifted up and the skin pushed down. You’ll get a closer shave and fewer cuts.

    Now start shaving with your eyes shut, paying attention to how the razor feels on your skin, sliding through the shampoo foam, getting rid of all that stubble.

    If you have short hair you can clean up your neck too, just feel for the edge of your hairline with a finger of your other hand so you don’t shave too high. Same for in front of your ears. Then finish washing and conditioning your hair. Feel free to shave any other parts of yourself while you’re in there. Just remember to give them a little rub with the soapy washcloth first.

    If you have very dry hair, you can shampoo it first, put on conditioner, and use some of that to make your face slippery for shaving, while your hair gets moisturized during those minutes.








  • Hmmmm… when I was 12… Nixon resigned, Lucy and the Terracotta Warriors were unearthed (in Ethiopia and China respectively but it sounds like a band this way) Ali KO’d Foreman and Aaron outhit Ruth, my dad hated driving 55, my mood ring was always black… No Chinatown or Godfather for me, but I was allowed to see Blazing Saddles! Oh and I heard some of the older teens talk about a new game called D&D that was supposedly getting kids into drugs…
