There comes a time in a young human male’s life when they may (or may not) need to shave their face. This is so the communistic horrors of big beards are staved away to ensure pure, true, glorious traditional values of uptight repression.
Today’s specimen is struggling with how to shave his stupid face safely. Dr. Moron (unqualified, unstable, and lacking unguent) offers his sage advice below.
How Can I Shave My Face Without Dying Horribly?
Please note: We are not medically trained medical professionals and our "advice" is terrible. Do not follow out instructions, avoid all advice, seek actual proper medical professional support.
Dr. Moron,
Today I turned 18 and I decided it was about time I shave for the first time in my life. I’ve not got much of a beard tbh it only comes through in small amounts but I’m 18, so that means I’m a man now (my dad kept telling me that) so I needed to shave off the small clutter of the stuff off my face.
I weren’t sure what to do tbh no one has ever taught me so I decided to slather my face with:
- Soap
- Shaving cream foam
- Shampoo
- Mum’s leg waxing stuff she uses
- Toothpaste
- Eye drops
- Toilet Duck
- Bonjela
- Sudocrem
- Tiger balm
With that lot on my face I rubbed it in for a good 20 minutes so it formed a kind of slimy paste to let my face marinate a bit before the big shave. Dad uses one of those old fashioned cutthroat razer shaver things like you see in old movies. I got that (seemed to me the most manly thing I could use) and began slicing at my face.
I did that for the next 10 minutes. Eventually, what with all the blood and everything, my dad had to drive me to the hospital and we finished the shave there. However, I did about 76% of my first shave all by myself!
I’m immensely proud of that. Immensely. Even if dad keeps calling me a “fuck nut” and other swear words. Whatever. I’ve come-of-age and this is my story. For my next shave, once the stitches have healed and been removed, I’ve been instructed to just use shaving cream. I’ll do that and add some leg wax and Bonjela in as well, what do you reckon?
Cheers,
Derek
Hi there, Derek. Just the shaving cream, some leg wax, and Bonjela is a good strategy. However, based on our extensive history of shaving, we can also recommend an oft-forgotten secret ingredient.
Houmous.
Our very own esteemed editor and unqualified neurosurgeon, Dr. Wapojif, slathers a tub of humous on his face prior to each shave. He swears by this process and believes it to be:
“The only true form of male facial beard shaving, everything else is a sham and disgusts me to my very core.”
Shaving implements we also recommend, as opposed to the dangerous cutthroat razor you used, include, but aren’t limited to:
- Chainsaws
- Hedge trimmers
- Combine harvesters
That’s if you really want to get that clean shave right down to the jawline for the ultimate in manly traditional values based on bizarre facial hair repression.

Young adults faced with real grooming problems might be better off seeking counseling before attempting any of the necessary procedures as mentioned above . If this is not an option I suggest this young man try Crisco, about a cup should help.

You dare challenge Dr. Moron!?!? I’m the King of Stubble, I’ll have you know! The impudence! And he doesn’t need this alleged “Crisco”, he needs a shot of Bovril and he’ll be sorted.

You dare to question the shaving advice of an RN ( registered nurse)? What do you think they make nurses in training do. I don’t want to talk about it.

So, you’re an America. Sorry. Maybe we can get rid of Trump and fix it. What are you getting at? Are you implying or outright saying that being a nurse is not dignified. What do you have to offer ?

Not at all, I’m asking because we don’t know the meaning of the word. I don’t think just removing Trump will fix it ~ we elected him, after all, and his vice president is arguably even worse…
What do I have to offer? I’m one of those who can only do one thing well, does everything else less well than a five year old, and it happens to be something that pays even less than being a housewife: Poetry. 🙄

Poetry is a fine profession. Dignified. I didn’t elect Trump and don’t consider myself among the batshit crazies that did. It was nice meeting you.

Poetry is indeed dignified. Right now, its reception is, believe me, the opposite of that. Humiliations of the most juvenile sort are dished out to me by adults I have nwver met, all day and all night long, everywhere I go and everywhere I sit still.
I consider myself apolitical. I vote on issues which never see the ballot every time I “lift my pen.”
Nice to meet you too 🙋

Yes, I do dare to challenge the advice of a human female whom has never endured the horrors of maintaining a beard! Buy a fake beard this Halloween, attempt to maintain it (during work etc.), and then dare to criticise this genius feedback.

You need to introduce that stuff to the US, clearly a major gap in the market.
