The First Shave

In this episode, I talk about something oddly simple yet strangely memorable. Shaving for the first time. What started as just using a razor my dad gifted me turned into this weird mix of hesitation, curiosity, and unexpected satisfaction. I reflect on masculinity, independence, identity, and why removing a bit of facial hair somehow felt like a tiny rite of passage. It’s less about grooming and more about those small, quiet moments that make you feel like you’ve crossed some invisible line.
