Hirsutism!

Feb. 19th, 2010 01:11 pm
I've only been shaving my face for a couple years, and I don't have to do it every day, so maybe I'm missing something. Maybe I'm still only a level 2 face-shaver. Maybe I don't have enough face-shaving EXP.

But I read these reviews of razors where guys talk about how easy it is to cut yourself with a cheap blade, and I just do not understand how you can cut your face shaving. The idea makes no sense to me. Faces are not hard! They don't have a lot of surface area and you can see all of it right there in the mirror! I guess most guys are hairier than I am, and thus have to make more passes with the razor than I do, but you know what? Try doing multiple passes on the backs of your thighs.

Basically, I guess I'm saying I think guys should learn to shave their legs.

Relatedly, here is an awesome thing that you should know if you shave any part of your body and are cheap: safety razors are really environmentally friendly - if you've got access to steel recycling, there's no waste at all - and they're about a million times cheaper than regular razors. You can get the razor body on eBay for $5, and 50 blades for about $10.

You do need to be a little more careful than with a regular razor, but I've gone two months without doing myself any damage. (Also, I am shaving like Archie Goodwin, which I posit will eventually confer upon me some measure of his power.)
