The Rise of Barbasol Shaving Cream The laughter filled the room as I ran through the house running away from my uncle who was close behind me. I thought that I finally escaped from him but as soon as I turned around I was blasted with shaving cream that placed a thick, fluffy layer onto my clothes. I knew from then on there was going to be a revenge fight with the famous barbasol shaving cream. Later on that day, he decided to take a nap and did not worry about anything that happened earlier that day. I knew this was the perfect time to get revenge and cover him in shaving cream like he did to me. I tiptoed into my grandparents bathroom and carefully opened their linen closet. There was five aerosol cans of barbasol shaving cream that were all different types. I decided to choose the extra moisturizing shaving cream to use on my uncle. After I made my decision, I closed the closet door as quietly as I could and then tiptoed back out to the living room where my uncle was curled up on the couch. I sprayed the shaving cream into my uncle’s hands and it foamed over onto his stomach. I grabbed one of my grandma’s cat’s toys that had feathers on the end of it and began slowly tickling his nose …show more content…
In 1931 barbasol shaving cream was also widely advertised on the radio by Harry Frankel, a former vaudevillian, who decided to make himself “Singin’ Sam, the Barbasol Man.” Frankel sang a catchy song about Barbasol shaving cream that captured the attention of both men and women to purchase the new and improved shaving cream. The song included lyrics explaining that there was no brush, no lather, or no rub-in needed to use Barbasol shaving cream (Green). The new brushless shaving cream has continued to grow over the years and new innovations have been produced by the

Everything started off in Steven’s 8th grade English classroom. The topic of the day was, “The most annoying thing in the world.” So evidently, Steven wrote about his younger brother Jeffery. Jeffery was his perfect little brother; white teeth and perfect blond curls. Jeffery idolized Steven and wanted to be just like him, which lead up to the “Dangerous Pie” incident. Steven’s biggest rule with Jeffery was to never touch any of his drum stuff. But one tragic day, Steven came home to Jeffery “cooking” “Dangerous Pie” with Steven’s special drum sticks. But even after, Steven woke up early with Jeffery one morning, and being the caring brother he is, decided to make Jeffery his favorite breakfast “moatmeal.” Steven’s mother told him to never let his little brother stand on the stool

Murder is an inexcusable crime that deserves harsh penalties when committed. In the short story, “Just Lather, That’s All” by Hernando Tellez, murder as a means of revenge is unjustifiable. Murder as a means of revenge is unjustifiable in the short story "Just Lather, That's All" because the barber is too proud to kill, the barber has a risk of being executed, and the barber is not a killer. All in all, murder is an unforgivable crime.

An overhang light illuminates a garbage barrel, its lid is shaped like a clown’s head. A little boy staggers away from the spinning tea cups and clutches the clown’s cheeks. He puts his face in the barrels great open smile. Flush. A strawberry snow cone and half a corn dog spray out through his mouth and nose. The face eats what the little boy feeds it. It receives. Little boy gives. His face is turning red now, his nose running with snot and vomit while his eyes water up and bulge out. Seconds turn into minutes and finally he is released from the experience. The little boy overhears his dad lecturing a carny who had witnessed the event. He says “that foam reminds me of the last time I drank Guinness. I spent the night with an Irish whore in Belfast and woke up in a state of sleep paralysis. I puked on my own face until I almost drowned. Lucky the whore woke up or I’d be dad for sure.” “Did you say dad?” asks the carny. “Oh, did I? Ha, I meant
Once you go to the store, or anywhere you could buy a shaving soap, it can sometimes get confusing to pick because of the wide array of choices when it comes to type.
It is time, at last, to speak the truth about toxic chemicals behind personal care and beauty products. The daily products of an average person consists of face wash, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, floss, toothpaste, and deodorant. Surprisingly, all of these products listed contain toxic chemicals that are harmful to our body. If we use these products to maintain our hygiene, does that mean we are not clean without these products? For example, a common shampoo many people use is Head and Shoulders. However, do we know if the shampoo is cleaning our hair from beginning to end or is it damaging our hair? How often do you read the ingredients labeled on your personal care products and wonder if they are safe to use? More importantly, if you

As the time passed, lunch time came and everybody was called to eat. One of my uncles knows how to cook, and since he was in charge of the meat, he knew what to do to make it better. I remember the taste of that meat, it was delicious and everyone love
...y brother and took the dog out. I jumped into the shower and did a fast wash. I ran to my bedroom to get dressed and took a quick look at the clock. I had plenty of time. I got dressed, and I even changed my shirt twice because I could. I went down for breakfast and the coffee was ready. But, I was alone. My heart started racing. In my hurry to get ready, I did not notice that my mom and brother were not up. “Oh no”, I thought. I dashed to my mom’s room and yelled, “Get Up, Get Up!, you need to hurry or I am going to be late for school.” My mom looked at me and said, “Why are you in such a big rush today, when normally I cannot get you to open your eyes at this time?” I yelled, “Hurry or I am going to be tardy and get suspended.” My mom just smiled and pulled the covers over her head. As she did that, I could just hear her say, “Trace it is Saturday.”
Then the phone rang and Dad answered it. It was hard to tell what the conversation was about, it did not last long and Dad didn’t say much. When he hung up he was quiet. Then Mom asked, “Who was that, honey?” Blunt and to the point he said, “Grandma,” (his mom) “Grandpa got sick last night.” Suddenly I was not hungry any more. “What’s that mean?” Mom asked, taking the words right out of my mouth. Dad did not really know. All Grandma said was that Grandpa got up in the night, went to the bathroom, and then yelled for help before collapsing. She called 911 and an ambulance came and got him. From the hospital in Spirit Lake he was life-flighted to Sioux Falls.
