Concept


4 men
4 razors
24 hours


It is about shaving. It is about the ability of the inability to grow a beard. It is about growing old and grey. It is about time passing and hair growing. It is about why men wear goatees and whether it means they’re gay. It is about memory and nostalgia and remembering your first shave, It is about remembering a close shave. It is about skin. It is about having sensitive skin. It is about our faces and our feelings about our faces and our feelings about each others’ faces. It is about whether hair keeps growing when we die and if it does then why can’t we grow a beard now. It is about why ginger is the hardest shade to shave. It is about what it feels like to kiss a man with a beard. It is about a man with a beard kissing another man with a beard to see what it feels like. It is about men and beards and kissing and missing and loving and loss and it’s very long. It lasts 24 hours. And it starts when we shave and it ends when we shave. And all that we will have left is our stubble.
24 hour stubble.
