Slight disclaimer to the guys out there, if you don't want to hear about how fuzzy wuzzy was a female bear with a razor.. turn back now..

For those who stayed...

It's summer time here once again, and while throughout the winter I admit to letting the personal grooming slack... a lot especially here lately... I couldn't take the furries anymore with the humidity down here. I mean I can't think of anyone who likes feeling like a wet dog. So off to the shower I went armed with my implement of hair removal... the good old safety razor. For anyone who doesn't know, the safety razor is first and foremost a lie there is nothing safe about it, it is a double edge straight razor blade with a small that barely covers only the bottom part of the blade and about half of the top of it, stuck on a stick.

But if you want a close shave for less than $0.25 every month, a safety razor is the way to go. Cost savings aside, there is no other razor out there with the exception perhaps of the even older fashioned straight razors, that will shave as well as a safety razor. You feel like you just got waxed after a shave with one of them.

Well today, I had a much closer shave than I anticipated. I dropped the silly thing 6 times on my toes, shredding them up a bit. The razor rolled in my hand I don't know how many times leaving slices up and down my legs, and underarms, one of the cuts on the legs is actually bad enough that when I got out of the shower I had to slip a few butterflies on it before tossing a bandage over it. I mean rather than the freshly defurred feeling I was hoping for it's more like the freshly blended on high feeling.

I used to wax before my grip became to weak to pull the strips off well and my coordination was too bad to apply the wax in that nice thin layer. I've tried electric razors including this winter using one, but my hair is baby fine and the razor would pretty much only catch a few of the hairs and rip them out rather than cutting them so I was left with the same furry legs just minus 2 or 3 hairs that got tangled. The allergies to everything lately has ruled out any of those things like Nair, not to mention they smell gawd awful. And I'm too broke for laser hair removal.

Any tips or tricks from my fellow masters? Who knows maybe once I learn the secret to shaving with MS I can learn how to apply eyeliner with it Last time I tried I almost blinded myself by jabbing my eye with the pencil and the results even before then weren't pretty, it's why my make-up routine is sunblock and Chapstick.

I mean I'm not that much of a girly-girl to begin with. I prefer jeans and t-shirts to skirts and dresses, rock to pop, and my tequila straight up hold the salt and lime. But I can't survive the rest of my life looking like a sasquatch, or the alternative aggressive lion tamer.
