Ariel Magin Week 6- What's Up With Shaving?

    What’s up with shaving? I feel that if I go just a couple of days without grooming myself with a razor-sharp blade then I get called out. I understand it isn’t very appealing, but hey, it’s the best I got. Give me a few years and I’ll have sweaters made of facial hair, sorry for that image.

    Honestly, though, I understand the ill feelings toward adolescent boy’s/men’s facial hair. We think we’re cool because we haven’t shaved for a few days and that we look like Tom Selleck when we actually look like hobos. What’s funny about the whole situation is that I only notice how bad it looks when my friends don’t shave either. One of your questions at this time may be, "Ariel, why don't you just shave?" I plead the fifth... Shaving is like taking out the trash. You really don't want to do it, but when you do get around to it you realize it's not that bad. HOWEVER, you still don't want to do the next time around again. This eventually devolves into a refusal to shave to go against what everyone says. Luckily though, there comes a time when you do shave and boy is it glorious. I'm always amazed at how refreshing a hairless upper lip is and how getting rid of sideburns is almost like a rebirth. Don't quote me on that.

    Boys, let’s face the facts, the people in our lives have a right to not get nauseous every time they look at our faces. For me, I can't help it regardless. There’s only one remedy, and I’ve deliberated over this for many moons, we must shave. This realization came to me in a dream where a hairless angel instructed me to deliver this message to all adolescent men. Before I finish let me just reiterate, a man who shaves isn't a man who caves, but rather one who saves.

Please don’t be too harsh in the comments… lol. 

By the way, just wanna give a quick shoutout to Christina Applegate.
