Well, I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout shaving faces. Is it bad to shave your face everyday? Some say it is, some say it ain’t. My old man, he shaved every mornin’, rain or shine. Never seemed to hurt him none. But his face was like sandpaper, I tell ya!

Now, these young’uns, they got all sorts of fancy stuff. Not like back in my day. We just had a bar of soap and a rusty razor. If you were lucky, you got some hot water. These days, they got all these body washes and face bars. Back then, soap was soap! Didn’t matter if it was for your body or your face.
They even got somethin’ called a “dual-sided shower tool”. What in the tarnation is that? Sounds like somethin’ you’d use to clean the barn! We just used our hands. Worked just fine. These kids today, they’re gettin’ soft, I reckon.
Shavin’ every day, does it make your hair grow faster? Shoot, I don’t know. Seems like a silly question. My grandson, he shaves every day, tryin’ to get a beard like his grandpa. Ain’t nothin’ but peach fuzz, bless his heart. He reads about it on that internet thing. Over 100,000 people readin that same site last month, he tells me! Can you imagine?
Shaving your face, it ain’t gonna make your beard grow faster, I don’t think. My old man, his beard was thick as a briar patch, but that’s just how he was. His daddy was the same way. It’s just in your blood, I reckon. Like how some folks are tall and some are short.
- You can shave your face if you want.
- You can not shave your face, too.
- Shaving won’t make you a man.
- Not shaving won’t make you a mountain man.
- Just use some soap and water.
Now, if you’re gonna shave, you gotta be careful. Don’t want to cut yourself. My old man, he used to cut himself all the time. Had little bits of paper stuck to his face. Looked like a scarecrow. These days they got that fancy foam. Keeps you from cuttin’ yourself, I guess. But it costs a pretty penny, I bet.

And don’t be usin’ a dull razor. That’s just askin’ for trouble. You’ll tear your face up somethin’ awful. Better to use a sharp one. Might cost a little more, but it’s worth it. Unless you like lookin’ like you been in a fight with a wildcat.
Some folks say shavin’ is bad for your skin. Makes it dry and itchy. Well, maybe that’s true. But my old man, he never complained about dry skin. And that is the truth about shaving. He just slapped some water on his face and went about his day. Of course, his skin was like leather. Could probably strike a match on it.
So, is it bad to shave your face everyday? I don’t rightly know. Probably depends on the person. If you got sensitive skin, maybe it ain’t such a good idea. But if you’re like my old man, you can probably shave with a rusty axe and be just fine. This shaving thing is all about grooming.
These young people want to look sharp and confident. They use these essential tools and products.
If you do shave every day, just make sure to use a good razor and some of that fancy foam, if you are rich. And don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. There’s no shame in not knowin’ how to shave. Even my old man had to learn sometime. Just do what makes you feel best, I guess. That’s all that really matters in the end.
