To shave or not to shave that is the question

Today I will be speaking to you about shaving. In my opinion, I think people should shave going for that smooth look.

Firstly, lets begin by telling you what shaving actually is. Did you know shaving is the removal of hair.

Now lets discuss the benefits of shaving. In some religions it is religious practice to shave the head but wouldn't you get cold? Like seriously how does Mr Sevenson feel on a cold winters day?

Head shaving is also common amongst competitive sports such as swimming, running and extreme sports. Lets take Ian Thorpe for example, an Australian swimmer who specializes in freestyle. He has won 5 Olympic gold medals. Usain Bolt Jamaican sprinter, widely regarded as the fastest person ever. What do these two men have in common you ask? They both shave their entire bodies. So shaving obviously makes you faster.

Historically, head shaving has also been used to humiliate and punish. Imagine that. Imagine getting into trouble at school and Mr G saying, Right boy, come here, it’s time to shave your head. You haven’t been showing Parkvale Pride. Be gone with your hair.

And then there is shaving your head, moustache or beard for fund-raising efforts. Isn’t it remarkable to see our Role Models such as teachers, All Blacks, Politicians growing their facial hair in the support of cancer research and charitable organisations only to shave it off and raise money for people who are suffering from this terrible disease that constantly terrorizes us. We all know of someone who has passed away from this. So how incredibly unselfish is it to shave a little hair for the sake of someone else’s health.

Finally, I feel that everyone of us should now see the benefits of shaving. We all want to look gorgeous, be fast and do the right thing by charitable trusts, don’t we? After listening to my speech hopefully I’ve done enough to persuade you to shave.

To shave or not to shave - what will you do?
