Shaving with shaving cream - a photo on Flickriver

            We women have a great advantage over men: we do not have to shave.
True? Yes. Till you get 50. Then the first hair begins to grow, here and there.
I fast picked them out, they grew back. 

The cosmeticians was did not last, the doctors pills did not help,
finally I took desperate measures: I photoshoped them out.
The healing tool worked, they never came back - on the screen.
But in real life... 

I used many years disposable shavers.

Finally, at 77, my son offered me a bottle of shaving cream.
Shaving with shaving cream like a man, me? 
A few weeks later, I caved in and tried. It does work. 

And with the self portraits I took, the skeleton come out of the cupboard and I do not mind any more doing it, if not day by day but before I go out (to gig and also show a picture of it). I even put it on a tea shirt to have it on me, from Standup Comedy routine. And yes, I still use it, but no more hiding it.

My daughter called: you do not need so much cream! It is then, I realised: she is over 50 too now. And of course, she has a husband and three boys to observe at home.
