grooming (The personal cleanliness kind)
I finally decided to shave and trim down to just a little goatee. That took half an hour.
But after many years I've settled on an old double edged trench razor, hair conditioner as a shave gel, and then it all gets scrubbed down afterwards with more conditioner and the rough side of a kitchen sponge as the procedure.
And it's suuuuper smooth. The secret to smoother skin is scrubbing vigorously with a kitchen sponge. Prevents ingrown hairs too.
