Morale boost

Woke this morning feeling pretty lousy; voice was croaky, chesty cough and according to SWMBO my snoring sounded like a seal pup barking!

After several hours I motivated myself to shower and shave. Now with a BBS shave under my belt I feel a touch brighter and more awake.

Reminds me of a story I read about the British troops at Arnhem. When the order came to withdraw a Sgt Major arranged for some water, shaving soap and a razor to be passed around so that the paratroopers could have pride in themselves. The Major, who recounted the story and was the last to use the gear, wrote how he felt much better after several days of stubble, grime and oil had been scraped off his face.
 
I too usually feel better after a nice shave. There is something about making yourself look presentable that just makes the day a little bit better. On the other hand, I have found a terrible shave can really start a day off lousy.
 
I had a final today. 2/6
yesterday I was almost loosing it studying.
I didn't even really notice I haven't shaved in two days so I took a break. Shaved came back to studying, felt refreshed!

It usually takes me 15mins to have a nice enjoyable shave. I love every minute of it.
 
A good shave always brightens my day. As soon as I start loading my brush everything leaves my mind and I only focus on one thing. Almost better than meditating.

Roy, this is a very nice story. Thank you for sharing. And yes, I agree, a quality shave really makes you feel much better.
 
I have always run a nice bath and soaked away for rather a length of time when ill but now i can also include a great shave. I would rather not feel ill to try this one though. I hope you feel better soon
