Shaving update

I took the advice of several of you nice people and got myself a Mach 3 razor. It works very well. Thanks!

I also intend to try an electric sometime too, but the Mach 3 was just hanging there as I was buying toothpaste a couple of weeks ago, and I said, "Aha, this is what half of everyone was talking about, and it's only ten bucks, so: okey-dokey."

I do like this look. When I see that there user icon now I think, "Ih, look at all the crap on my face. Did I actually think that looked good? For seven years??"

I'll make a new icon using a framegrab from the show, probably. I actually nicked myself on the lip a couple of hours before the studio shoot but I used secret ninja techniques so it doesn't show up. Except that now you'll be looking for it. Dammit

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.
