I'm sitting here in the living room postponing my bedtime. This isn't an unusual occurrence for me, but tonight I'm not worried about a restless sleep or about getting up in the morning or even about school or the work I should have done. I'm worried about the fact that I have to shave in the morning.
Shaving isn't easy on my face. I mean, when I'm actually shaving everything feels really nice and I like having a clean shave when I'm done. It's not usually until the next day that my hairs start debating amongst themselves whether they are going to grow back on my face, or under it. I can't shave every day because my face needs a few days rest in between shaves so that it can recover a little bit. Since I'm blond, no one really notices anyway.
Even though my face isn't ready for another shave tomorrow, it's getting one. The professor of my class tomorrow morning is the chair of my department and the assistant dean of my college, so I kind of feel like I need to be a little more diligent with the daily cleanliness of my shave. College is dangerous.

cover it up with a beard of bees. i don't think there is anything in the honor code against that.
I suggest considering one of those masks that professional wrestlers wear in Mexico. That would probably do the trick.
My face is exactly the same way. Just a couple of months ago I broke a streak of not shaving for about 8-9 months. No joke. All I would do is use a trimmer about twice a week. Now I'm starting up again and it hurts. However, I've found a trick that helps a little. Right after you shave, apply pure alcohol to your face and continue applying a few time throughout the day. It hurts like a banshee but in the long run it's good.
Alcohol, eh? Is there any science behind this trick? I mean, I'll try it anyway; I was just wondering.
Or maybe it's just to get the bees off when I get home.

What is so good about it in the long run? Does it help your skin or something? Face shaving baffles me.
I think it would really suck to have to shave your face every day. I'll stick to legs... cause at least then, no one really notices if I skip a couple days. (What a hairy beast.)
Alcohol is the active ingredient in all aftershaves. Somehow it helps to close and clean your pores after shaving.
Hey guys--
This guy I know from Sri Lanka said that there is this amazing stuff called bump off or bump gone or something in the black-people-product section of the drug store. It's like an aftershave to prevent ingrown hairs, and my brother started using it and he loves it. I guess black people are more prone to ingrown facial hairs, so it's in the "ethnic" section. Just a tip.
Also, I think this is proof that Be is black.
There was this black kid that I went to high school with named Chris Casteel, and we joked that we were brothers. I never thought to ask him about ingrown hairs, though.
