Boyle “SHAVING” “I wish I could stop growing whis­ kers!” That’s the usual complaint from men, who have grown quite tir­ ed of plying a razor over their be- soaped faces and removing therefrom, all the foliage. It’s a far cry back then to when they were young. I well remember the first day I be­ came aware of anything sprouting on my face. It was a silky down that I hadn’t paid much attention to, until somebody asked me how my whiskers were growing. . I made a foray into the washroom and examined the sit­ uation in a critical way. Yes, they were actually growing. I was well on the way to being a man. I went to bed that night full believing that I would find myself with a full-grown beard in the morning. I woke next morning and ’ sallied out of bed in the early dawn to take a look in the crack'ed mirror that ser­ ved as decoration in my attic bed­ room. Confound it! I couldn’t see a bit of difference in the state of the whiskers at all. A nd for the next two weeks I suffered agonies of torment because the facial decorations were not growing. A chance remark from my Dad one day that sour cream and axle grease would make them sprout sent me into a lather of activity in the cultivating work. The odor of axle grease and sour cream was naus­ eating, proved a boon to all the flies in the neighbourhood and had no vis­ ible effect on the growth of whiskers. Then at last after anxiously waiting the whiskers became long and I in­ vested in a razor. Sneaking my fath­ er’s kit out to the barn I crawled up into the haymow and after expert-, menting for a while I shaved. How easy they c’ame off . . and oh, how re­ freshed (?) I felt after a shave. Dur­ ing the next week I shaved or at lesat I thought I shaved every day. And,at long last I was able to brave the or­ deal of shaving in the washroom. My father and older brothers ribbed me and my younger brother watched in rapt attention and then musing on it, seemed to finger his face. Shaving is a real pleasure during the first two or three years, for the simple reason that it doesn’t matter Very much whether you shave or not. But gradually the process become ted­ ious. A person gets tired of having to shave. The time comes very soon when you have to have boiling hot water in order to have a good shave, Your razor is dull and the whiskers seem to grow harder to cut. You get sick and tired of the procedure. You try a straight razor and it’s too hard to k'eep honed and the strap keeps getting mislaid. You switch to a safety razor and the blades break and you can’t seem to get a good shave, You try a patented razor used by the King of Siam or somebody and sold to you by a smart drug-store clerk. You experiment with shaving soap, toilet soap, shaving powder and shaving cream and then switch back to a cake of old-fashioned soap in a mug and go through the same pro­ cedure. You try leaving your whiskers on and the wife complains and she threatens to go back to her mother if you don’t stop. Then you compro­ mise and grow a little cookie-duster under your nose, and, at last shave it off because it tickles your nose and makes you explode with the most vi- olents spells of sneezing every so of­ ten. You shave it off and go back to the process of shaving clean again. You decide to leave your whisk­ ers on for a week at a time and sure as shooting when you have a five days growth, some of your best relatives show up, or the clergyman, or a friend, and you feel that they will go back convinced after seeing you that man has descended from apes. It’s absolutely no use. A man can’t escape from the whiskers on his face. They are sent as a means of tortue to man and one of our best means of complaining comes by reason of them. But you know deep down in a per­ son’s heart you sort of like whiskers. There’s a clean and pleasant feeling comes over a person after they have had a good shave. You run your hand over your face and chin . . and it’s smooth and clean and slip on a clean shirt and feel like a million dollars. There’s a good deal to say for and “aginst.” FALL FAIR DATES Atwood..................-.....
