The Ironic Nature of My Body Hair
As a teenager I couldn't wait to grow enough hair to display a mustache. Now as a man knocking on the door of the big "40," I hate the thought of the daily shave. Although I have found that BJ is entertained with my face full of shaving cream, my bathroom sink resembles a department store perfume counter. I am proud to admit that I was a metrosexual before there was a name for it, but my regimen includes face wash/buff, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, after-shave moisturizer, oil-control lotion and finally eye-cream ( I'm getting tired just writing this sequence). My ritual is all done in an effort to be less "scratchy" to Mommy Bacchus. So the first ironic nature is that we can't wait to grow hair, just to shave it off each morning with a two-bladed razor.
Mrs. Davis, this week's renter, reviews an innovative children's CD that playfully discusses Daddy Scratchiness. I found her review eye-opening an informative in describing the musical trends in recent children's music. It's making me re-think my weekend purchase of the "Little Einstein's CD I bought for BJ, but I hope to instill a mature, diverse appreciation of music (Mommy Bacchus has banned hip-hop in the car). Stop by her site a read her review.. She also includes links for samples so you can listen for yourself.
The second ironic nature of my body hair is that I am losing it from the top of my head and finding it on parts of my body that never see the light of day. This morning I got out the shower and found some stands on the back of my shoulder. I have hair on my arms, chest, legs, nose, ears and the pubic area, but I think shoulder hair puts me into a whole new category. So the moral of this story is, "Be nice to zoo animals," it may be a former daddy blogger you throw bananas to.

WAIT TILL YOU FIND YOUR SON HAS TAKEN YOUR RAZOR AND SHAVED ALL THE HAIR OFF HIS BODY…INCLUDING HIS HAIR….WHICH WAS IN TUFFS BY THE TIME I GOT TO HIM…WARNING…ANYTIME YOU HAVE A CHILD OF ANY AGE AND THE HOUSE GETS VERY QUITE FOR LONGER THAN 4 MINUTES…BE AFRAID…BE VERY AFRAID…
Wow, I could learn a lot from you…..your right I should be listening.
Go to Plum Spa if you are in the Bay Area. They have a nice ‘metrosexual’ wax.
lol … I always found it funny and odd that the older you get the weirder the places are that hair grows as well ..lol Thanks for stopping by my place!
Mommy on the verge, Sorry, but I have my limits. Waxing is not something I can picture myself going thru.
I keep my razor for my legs in the bathroom cabinet until one day my daughter was in the bathroom real quiet for like a 20 minutes. After knocking on the door I said you ok? and I heard a paniced Yes!! then a *clunk*
Yeah she was in there playing mom’s with my razor doing her legs until I startled her so bad she dropped in the toilet.
Jaws, that was cute. I am seeing a theme here relating to quite kids in the bathroom……Thanks for sharing everyone.
LOL yes there is a theme going on. My niece Petra (the one who got married last weekend) shaved her legs with her moms razor when she was little and a few years later her younger brother was caught trying to shave his face. To the best of my knowledge none of my other nephews or nieces tried this one .. but it’s common. Lock your razor away.
I shaved part of my bangs when I was younger…..my mom just about killed me
And as far as the can’t wait to do and now hate it thing…..it’s the same for girls and their legs….we rush to grow up and then we want to go back!!!
I can relate to your shaving. I get these comments all the time from men and woman at the Beauty salon. Julie
You would be surprised at where hair grows and the questions I am asked. As a Beauty Therapist I set up a website to assist people with "How to" information at http://www.fullbodyshave.com it saved me explaining what to do and how it was done.Julie
