The air was thick with steam. Clouds of hot air floated by the ceiling in the windowless room. All twelve showers ran with boiling water keeping the room warm and our toes from freezing. This team shower was more than just a rinse off after practice. Each shower pressure was adjusted to a point just strong enough to clear each razor of its shaving cream, but not so strong that it sprayed everywhere.
Men with shaving cream-covered legs, and backs for some, scattered the floor of the shower room under the falling hot water. It was the Dickinson College men’s swim team prepping for the upcoming weekend, their 2016 Centennial Conference Championships, two days away. It was my last excuse, being a senior, to shave my legs.
I finished up my left leg. I lathered my right leg with a handful of shaving cream, grabbed a razor, and worked my way up my leg, all the way to the Speedo line. With my fingers I followed every move with the razor, making sure no stubble slowed my fingers. The knees were tough with each hair sticking out a different way among the many ridges of the knee cap. While visibly hairless, stubble could still be felt so I couldn’t leave the knee quite yet. Straightening, twisting, and bending my knee, I was determined to clear the landscape.
