Paradise Found

I don’t tend to shave on Sundays. It is the only day of the week when I go unshaven. It is nice not to have to go through the ritual of subjecting myself to cuts, nicks and using toilet tissue as bloody blotting paper. But there is something strangely satisfying about not shaving – and that is shaving the day after not shaving. I seem to get a much closer shave when my bristles are thicker, although there seems to be a threshold on the effectiveness of such a strategy. One or two days of no shaving works fine, but after three days the resulting hairs tend to drag the razor and cause me more injuries – and that is even though I use one of the best shave gels in the world. I wonder if there have been any scientific studies on the subject of razor drag co-efficiency and bristle length?
