The end of summer is nearing. Kids are heading back to school soon, soccer practice is starting and mother nature is giving us one last taste of the true meaning of the season. It's not raining outside yet but it might as well be. From the moment you step outside the confines of your metro cruiser (read car), a fine layer of moisture settles on your skin. You wish you had a moist towelette with you, as you feel as if a second shower suddenly would be in order.

So I was thinking last night, when growing a goatee, the first shave is very crucial. It sets the tone and shape of the goat for months to come. You typically allow growth all over the face for 3-4 days before you commit to shaving it down, going for the grizzly adams or leaving the goat. In my world, the stache alone is never an option. Sorry guys but I just don't think it works. Imagine now that you have been working the beard, and you trim it down... Only to find the lines crooked. What do you do? Go for a micro goat or scrap the idea, shave and give it another go a week later? Tough questions... Thus the critical nature of the first run of the razor.
