A trope I love in a good gay romance story.ย
When one man, whether it be injury, weariness, or any other reason lets himself be shaved by the man he has fallen for.ย
Itโs got everything, physical contact, domesticity, depictions of hands (I know we all love hands), depiction of mouths, the vulnerability of letting a crush see you unkempt, the trust of another person who has taken your heart to run a sharp blade over your body, scents...
and lastly, as a gay man, the inherent and (generally) uniquely male art of barbery as a special depiction of intimacy between men, just *chefโs kiss* perfect.ย
