Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said "what's that?" I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded "OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words". The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.

10 years ago I gave my ex a shaving kit. It came with a dry shaving foam, one of those that work like soap. After a couple of weeks without using I asked him if it was bad to shave, he said "the guy scamed you, this don't make foam" I was intrigued got the shaving brush WET IT And used the SOAP like dry foam. Worked fine

His answer "I didn't know I need water to make foam"

Mind you I'm not talking about any dumb person, this man got his bachelors in economics and business at the same time. He had 2 masters and a doctorate. He was very inteligente and was a great person to talk.

I think we god divorced because of how much I made fun of him for that, but for gods sake, WATER AND SOAP = FOAM is elementary school shit

Well, to be fair, you are writing about "dry foam". Shaving foam is wet. What you are referring to as "dry foam" is soap.

This form of shaving is called "Wet shaving" BTW.

I have a question.
Did he know how to use bar soap?
