Unless you’re about to move to Portland or caravan to Burning Man in your hippie bus, shaving is a daily fact of life. We all have to do it, so why not upgrade the experience?

What does shaving have to do with world peace?

Two words: Razor rash.

Did you ever wonder why hippies just let it all grow out? Well, one simply cannot bring about peace and love in this world with inflamed armpits. Or while angry, red razor rash gnaws away at your face.

Perhaps this is why Congress cannot get along. Or why that BMW driver cut you off on the highway yesterday. Or why the head of HR just couldn’t give you the time of day on your performance evaluation last week.

How can you treat others with the love and respect they deserve with this daily nagging irritation?

On the recommendation from a friend, I tried out the subscription from MyShavingClub.com. In all honesty, I can say it was the best shave I’ve ever experienced. Not only the best but also the quickest. Silky smooth legs in no time!

My sweetie tried out the men’s blades and said it was a definite upgrade from the Mach3 blades he had been using in the past. Now he’s sporting a silky smooth face. Nice!

In addition to using these great razors here are some bonus tips for a better shave experience:

• Before using your razor, disinfect the blades with a sprayable hydrogen peroxide. If you store your razor in the shower, the daily moisture and steam creates an ideal environment for mold and bacterial growth — the last thing you want under your skin!
• After shaving, moisturize with a 15% tea tree and jojoba mixture. I merely purchase Jojoba oil and Tea Tree from Trader Joe’s or Mountain Rose Herbs and combine them together in a dropper bottle. The Tea Tree will disinfect and prevent the possibility of inflamed red bumps while Jojoba will moisturize and carry the Tea Tree into your pores.

Put a smile on your face. Grab that promotion. Move the government out of grid-lock. Join those peace-loving hippies to bring about world peace with a clean-shaven face.
