When I showered this morning, I decided not to shave since I would be working outside around the house and probably wouldn't see anyone until dinner time, when I would shower again and shave then.
Ran into friend at the Post Office. He hadn't shaved, nor had the guy in line behind me. Took a phone call on the sidewalk outside the PO - next two guys to pass hadn't shaved, one heavily bearded, probably hasn't shaved in months. Woman passed to collect her mail - couldn't tell if she had shaved. (I'm guessing not.)
Stopped at a retail store. Clerk needed a shave (and Proactiv). State Trooper was getting coffee - he was sharp as a tack - pants perfectly creased, hair perfectly groomed, smelling of Stetson Cologne. Clean shaven like a barber did it ten minutes before with an old fashioned hand held straight blade and hot towel.
Checked emails and the internet for news. Ashton Kutcher, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Zac Efron all unshaven for their paparazzi pixs. Some with their dates on a night out, so it's not like they forget to shave.
In NYC, where I worked for all those years in those corporate skyscrapers, I scraped my face every day, without exception - Saturday and Sunday, too.Maybe skipped a day or two while on a Caribbean vacation, but day after day, year after year, never missed a day behind the razor. As my career escalated, so did the razor: from one blade to quatro micro adjusting swivel four blade head self lubricating with titanium power vibrating handle.
Now in the GNC, its back to disposable Bics, when I bother to shave at all. Come to think of it, I'll skip the dinner time shave today and see how I feel in the morning.
What happens when Mr. Midtown moves to an isolated acre in the Great Northern Catskills? It's Inconceivable!
