Smooth

I remember seeing this video for the very first time:

It completely blew my mind. I had just gotten a better internet connection and discovered YT (which was still fairly new back then, this was before 2010). At some point, I had the idea to start looking for shaving videos on there - and there were a lot of them! My fascination with shaving and bald heads had already been there for a very long time back then.

Still later, for some reason it occurred to me that the eyebrows were also something that could be shaved. And that was when I found this clip, at the time on someone else‘s account. The quality corresponds to what was normal then, but I think we still get a very good idea of what is happening.

This guy was apparently on a mission to remove all of his hair, which could have included the body hair as well, it‘s hard to tell. He was already bald by the time the video begins and, in front of the unbelieving eyes of the group of friends gathered around him, he then proceeds to have his eyebrows removed as well, first with clippers, then a wet shave.

I don‘t get the impression that he got paid for this, or that this is the result of a lost bet. To me, it looks more like a spur of the moment thing, an idea that is so crazy that he simply cannot resist. A thing he wanted to try out at least once in life, and he wanted to go all the way.

He is so confident that it doesn‘t matter that the others are laughing or making silly remarks, he is sure that this is what he wants to do and simply goes through with it.
