Shaving is hard and I am bad at it.

So I've been shaving about as often as I used to trim my beard; once every few days. Usually when I catch myself in the mirror and think, "Ugh, that looks terrible." And then I let it go two more days.

Today was a shaving day and I didn't slice up my thumb like last time, but I did give myself a hundred invisible cuts, the kind that you don't notice until you splash water on your face. I can't see my face right now but I'm guessing by the lack of people staring at me in horror that I look OK, at least. Unless they're actually averting their eyes in shame OH GOD

Maybe I should actually dispose of the disposable razors after I use them. I hate throwing things away, though. Surely they've invented some sort of non-disposable razor by now.

I did a big razor/shaver comparison thing based on people's reviews when I took my beard off a few years ago, and wound up buying a Remington Microscreen II for day-to-day stuff. It was a reasonable price/performance trade-off and I've been pretty pleased with it. I use a double-blade razor whose make I don't recall if I want a close shave--in my experience they're all the same.

Bladed razors give me a closer shave than my electric however that's not always a good thing. I sometimes will get ingrown hairs with a blade and then things get super-icky.
