I haven’t shaved in a few days and I have pretty quick beard growth.
Not really a problem to go out without a shave, but this is where it get’s interesting:
I started to shave this morning like I always do by doing under my neck, then center of chin and moving to the right side cheek.
It was just when the razor went down my cheek that it disintegrated in my hand; the razor head broke into about 5 pieces (not the cartridge, but the assembly holding the cartridge to the handle.)
I now have no way to finish and my friend will be here in a little bit. And, now looks really, really silly.
Guess I’ll have to bring paper towels and shaving cream and stop by some 24 hour place and get a disposable razor. What a pain. This’ll teach me to keep a few disposables on hand.
I would have felt very, very odd going to a store looking the way I did. Haha, the clerk seeing the razor I would have needed to buy would have been great!
We have a bag of cheap bic disposable razors hanging out under the sink … mrAru used to shave with a more expensive razor but noticed he got the same decent shave out of the cheap bics, so he went back to them.
Now he tidies up after his alopecia with nair, and now and again will treat himself to a scalp waxing. He has probably 500 hairs total on his whole body. [He isn’t joking when he claims to really miss his eyelashes and nose hairs.]
You know, it wasn’t until seeing the word in this context that I realized that “alopecia” sounds exactly like a word for one of those really annoying little breeds of dog.
