“… my wife and daughter
like it when I'm clean-shaven. If you see me with a clean face, then you know
I'm in the kissing mode!”

My roommate and I were sitting at the bar together,
when we saw this amazingly hot girl, sitting all by herself on the bar stool, reading
‘Pride and Prejudice’. My roomate and I both decided to go and buy her a drink.
He shouted “Dibs!”, and before I could say anything he made his way towards
her, like a cheetah approaching a deer. He chatted with her for about a minute
then returned to the table. He got shot down. Apparently, she told him that if
she wanted to kiss a cactus she had one at home. She was obviously referring to
his stubble. He hadn't shaved for about a week.

Fortunately, I had shaved that morning, so I decided
it was my time to shine. I walked up to her and chatted her up. “Pride and
Prejudice. Since you are already reading about two sins, how about a third?” I
said, indicated towards myself. She giggled, and we totally hit it off. I asked
her out for coffee, but she said she was busy. So we exchanged phone numbers
and decided to meet some other day.
Unfortunately, whenever I called she was always
busy. Weeks passed, and I called her less frequently, so as to not come off as
desperate. Then one day, my roommate and I walking at Marine Drive in the
evening, when suddenly I got her call. “Hey!” she said, “Can you meet for
coffee in 20 minutes?” I answered in the affirmative. We decided on the café, which
was a 10 minute walk from where I was at that time, and I promised I would be
on time. After cutting the call I turned to my friend and told him what
happened. He was happy for a couple of seconds then suddenly freaked out as if
he remembered something. He reminded me about how he got shot down because of
his stubble, and pointed out that I had more than just stubble, but an actual
beard! He was right. I couldn’t go to her like this. But what could I do? She
was expecting me in 20 minutes, and in that much time I could not go to the
hostel, shave and reach the café on time.

My roommate and
I looked at each other for a second, then we both had the same
realization. We ran to the medical store near by and bought a Gillette Fusion
blade and a Gillette Shaving Gel. I ran towards the café and rushed towards the
washroom. I began shaving with less than 10 minutes left for my date. Fortunately,
because of the Gillette razor and Gillette Shaving Gel, I could shave quickly without
any pain or cuts. It was a smooth shave and I still had a few minutes to spare.
I stepped out of the washroom and waited for my date,
who was exactly on time. She saw my clean shaven face, smiled, and the rest as
they say….is history.
