Once you get your skills down, it isn't an issue. I use the sharpest blades on the market and I almost never cut myself. Use a brush and some basic but good Italian shave soap from Amazon and I spend less in a year on the shaving than I used to in just a couple of weeks.

For a while, in a different apt with better ventilation, I would shave in the shower with the bar soap and that worked fine. The gels have thickening stuff in them which I find gums up the blade.

There are people who are into the whole sexy trust exercise of shaving each other's junk. I will trim down to a putting green length but I don't need to revisit the hairless days.

When you first do it, you have to go SUPER light and hardly touch. It's a different angle and all that. You use almost no pressure and you have to make like four passes - emulating those multi blade razors.

That really wasn't a big thing back then although she left more pubes on the soap than anyone I ever met. And we always used to get like twelve packs of Dove so there would be this thick Fonzie hair all over the pristine white soap and you would wash the bar off before washing yourself.

One of my regulars would binge drink before coming in. He would often have a lot of money to flash but we knew he wasn't rich. He would drink a full bottle of booze at home before coming in and spending the night at the bar. He could keep this up for a while until he was too far into the binge - this could take months…

I use a clipper for the sexy topiary. Don't feel the need to go all Ken doll. I am too hairy to try and emulate Greg Louganis or anyone down there, it grows back too fast. I trim with an old school barber's clippers - I bike in spandex shorts often enough that I don't want to be perched upon my own homegrown merkin.…

Ugh, a pox on you.

As a fella, I got so sick of paying out the ass for cartridges that I switched to an old school double edge safety razor like your Grandpa had.

My best friend's Mom has been here since the 50's and has a thick Chinese accent. She is a huge Philadelphia Phillies fan and news/politics junkie and is as American as anyone else.

This is some stupid mealy mouthed shit on your part.

I am a bartender. One of my favorite regulars went through a sort of midlife crisis. Divorce, angst, etc. So she decided to write a novel. I read some drafts of hers. We have lost touch but it was not too bad at all and it was set in a mental hospital and that aspect of it had a real flavor to it that I thought was…

You're a smarmy little shit. Like most people who pretend to be super positive and all about encouraging others, your passive aggressive claws come out as soon as you get the chance.

Oh, for fuck's sake. Talk about pathetic.

It isn't bad to eat McDonald's but to say that eating McDonald's is the same as eating at a great restaurant is just false. Junk food is junk food and junk books are junk books.

''The meat of Ruth Graham's anti-YA screed is that no one over the age of 17 should be reading young adult novels—no Hunger Games, no Divergent, no The Fault in Our Stars (whose movie adaptation seems to have inspired this manifesto). No, instead, proper mature adults should be reading appropriately literaryfiction—whi…

No, we don't. He is super annoying. He overshares and it's mostly pathetic. He tries too hard and has crazy eyes and he is like that guy at the bar who will never go home with a girl and bores you to tears with his skin deep epiphanies instead.

He doesn't have it in him. He is a terrible actor and he is completely unsuited for the part.

This shit is really weird. I mean, I am also disturbed at really young girls being hypersexualized and wearing stripper type clothes out and about but this other end of the spectrum is just as weird if not weirder.

Look, it sucks but predators are out there and it isn't just a matter of educating frat bros. I tend bar and I often see women matching men twice their size drink for drink. In an ideal world, a woman could be passed out drunk in the middle of the street naked and no crime of opportunity will occur. That isn't the…
