On Shaving.


Tools of Destruction.It appears that I’ve lost my touch.

There are approximately 12 cuts on my neck, one on my chin, and one other near my mouth.

NO idea why that’s becoming a trend, apparently. I’m not very pleased.

Practice makes… better?

    Could it be that your razor is dull or rusty? Or perhaps you shouldn’t shave every day. Try shaving in the shower some time. The warm water softens the hairs, and you’ll get a closer shave. Not to mention that all of the blood can just run down the drain. ;p

    Actually, neither. Or, your suggestions are my current mantra – I shave every other day, and use a fresh blade every other time.
    I still butcher my face with a fresh blade. Maybe I’m too hurried. Also, I’m not sure if a Safety Razor is the right thing to use “blindly”.
    I’ve used the Ensemble (from The Art Of Shaving) since I got it for christmas. It is pretty awesome, other than that whole pain and blood thing.
    Eh, practice, practice, oh I’m dizzy. :P
