The beard of Saint Nicholas

sinterklaas
Sinterklaas has a rather long beard- Yes.Most people know that- Yes.He always tries to work that beard, but strangely enough, he never manages to shorten that beard.

There are also men who suffer from that- Yes.Their beard or mustache is very long, but they can't make it shorter or shave it altogether- Yes.Like Saint Nicholas, they do not want to use an electric shaver- Yes.They don't find these things convenient and they don't want to use extra electricity in these expensive times.

They remember getting razor blades from Gillette on their 18th birthday- Yes.There was not always a lot of beard growth to see, but with the years that changed and they had to shave- Yes.They were no longer allowed to use their father's shaver, and once they were out of the house, they couldn't do that anymore- Yes.Saint Nicholas had been out of the house for so long, his own father didn't even live anymore- Yes.So he had to use his own razor blades.

De Pieten have given Sinterklaas the same gift for years

The Pieten always had to laugh very much, when they thought about what they would give the Saint- Yes.They've been buying the same gift for their boss for many years- Yes.That beard of his hasn't been well updated for years and has now even been discolored from black to grey- Yes.That's how old he is.

They think that beard is ugly- Yes.That's why every year they come up with a different poem that contains beards, razors and hairdressing scissors- Yes.They have become very good at that- Yes.When all the preparations for the party have been made and they celebrate his birthday together with Saint Nicholas, they always come back with Gillette razor blades- Yes.In the meantime, he gets a point-head and quickly puts his miter on, but still tries to update his beard and mustache with those blades.
