W: Oh, What happened to your face, John? It looks like a heat rash.

M: It's a razor burn. I cut myself when I shaved this morning. The burns and cuts are really irritating.

W: I can imagine. Maybe you shouldn't have grown a long, long beard.

M: Well, I thought it would be fun and would make me look more mature and sophisticated.

W: Yeah, my mature man!

M: Any advice?

W: Maybe you could shave in the shower. I heard the steam really helps soften 1 your beard and moustache.

M: Hm, sounds like a good idea.

W: And you should probably avoid pressing too hard or tugging 2 on your skin while shaving.

M: I think I’ve been stretching it too often when I shave.
