I hate shaving. It’s not that I don’t like looking well groomed; it’s just the effort involved. My job involves me getting up at 4am in the morning on certain occasions – and, trust me when I say this, it is not easy to shave comfortably at that time of day. The skin simply isn’t ready for such rough treatment.

Of course, I try my hardest. I have sensitive skin, and therefore I buy face products and shaving gel formulated for such skin. Following advice, I also leave it as late as possible before scraping the stubble; always after a shower allowing the steam to work its supposed wonders. Unfortunately though, it still hurts!
