He will shave off 27 feet of hair, from a total of 30,000 whiskers on his face. And he will probably be doing something wrong. So hell suffer nicks and cuts, ingrown hairs, and rashes; his five-oclock shadow will arrive before lunch, his neck will be irritated and red, and hell get razor burn. Instead of reaping the benefits of a daily grooming regimen, hell only suffer. Needlessly.The Art of Shaving will solve his problems (as well as the related problems of anybody whose cheek gets burned by his razor stubble). Hell choose the correct brush and razor and blade; hell take more time lathering up properly and less time tending to bloody shirt collars. Hell feel better and look better. And hell adjust his perception of this morning ritual, bringing art and passion to a daily routine.From the Hardcover edition.
