Razor-Edged Rage

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

GAH.

As some people probably know, my electric razor broke a few days ago. ._. Which bites. With sharp and pointy fangs.
Not shaving feels disgusting and itchy and fuzzy. And it makes me very irritable.
Mum called up the manufacturers, and they're sending mailing labels, so we can send back the razor, so they can send a new one. The catch?
It's going to take over a bloody fortnight (two weeks).
Blah. This reeks. And feels nasty.
What am I supposed to do until then, I'd like to know?? I mean, seriously. My only solution so far is to wrap my face in an Ace bandage, which works fairly well, except I can't talk and it doesn't stay coz my hair's too long. And I look like Zabuza. (I have a photo too.)

And before anyone suggests it, non-electric razors, like the ones my mum and sister use on their legs, are right out. I don't trust something that sharp that close to my throat. And don't know how to use one anyway.

Mum's gonna try the clippers later. Y'know, the big razor. The one that gives buzzcuts.

poor Tai. *pats*

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

There you go. Zabuza-esque way of dealing with it.
That's my mum's bedroom, by the way.

[Dundee]

*stares*


...



Are you sure that's a picture of you? Y-ya got a lot of hair... And look like a girl... No offence meant whatsoevery.

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

None taken. In fact, I could take that as a compliment. =) And I'm pretty sure it's me, as I took the picture.

[Zolah]

uhmm, Grow a beard? =)
you could also get one of those electricmini razors, and btw... if even i can handle a non electric razor ithink you can too ^^''

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Beard itch too much, and is not good-looking. And I don't think your non-'lectric razor is up at your throat. ._.

[Zolah]

no.. but under my arms and my legs o.o i even shaved my boyfriend once ( hehe )
and... Beards are good looking Y_Y why do only I think so? guys with long hair and beard ARE PRETTYFUL! Y_Y

*sniffle*

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Well, I dun like it. And, as it's my face, that's what really counts. =3 YOU can grow a beard, if you like. *good natured teasing*
Problem with a razor near the throat? I'm surprised it's not obvious... One little slip, you nick your jugular, and bleed to death.

[Zolah]

If i was a male I would, i would also have alot of tatoos... and try to be a casanova XD

why do i have a picture of a 17th century razorblade when you say like that :/

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Because that's how any bladed razor appears in my head and when you hear me talk, my thoughts reflect into your mind...?

[Daybreak]

Heeeyyyy..... try watching Sweeny Todd! That might help your razor fears!

...that is, it might make them ten times worse and turn you off meat pies for life. But really, I wouldn't worry about modern saftey razors. If they were that bad, I'd have cut the artery in my leg a looooong time ago (I's not exactly handy with sharp instruments, I once cut myself on a shampoo bottle). The safeties aren't really dangerous, the worst you'll get is a shallow, little cut that stings a lot and won't stop bleeding.

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Gee, THAT sounds pleasant... ._. But, of course, even so, there are two things: A) we dun have any razors that my family's not using, and 2) I don't know HOW to use a not-electric razor.

[Rehiro]

I use a non-electric razor.... now that you've said that thing about cutting my jugular im nervous and next time I shave, my hands will be shaking and *slice*.

YOU'VE KILLED ME TAIMATSU!!!!!

Why dont you just not shave your throat? Then you'll at least only have a hairy throat and you can start a new trend.

You do look a bit like Zabuza.

[Daybreak]

Heh. I think he looks like Zolf (from early in the Slayers anime, otherwise known as the mummy-man...)

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Sorreh, Rehiro-san. That was not my intention.

And I need to shave it there especially, coz that's where it itches most.

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Ah, it seems clear for now. Mum used the clippers and one of her little pink leg razors and, while not perfectly smooth, it is EXTREMELY acceptable. Also, I got a haircut, so now it's shorter and not in my eyes all the time.

So now I feels better. Thank you for letting me rant, peoples. =)

[Daybreak]

Aww, no more mummy-Tai? And no problem, I'll probably need to rant here some time sooner or later, so I have no problem with responding to other people's complaints!

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Not right now... Although I'm sure he may return in the future.

[Zolah]

wonder if you can wax of beards.. it would definitivly mean that you dont need to shave in a while *nods*

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

I'm sure it's possible... It sounds painful, though.

[Shippo_no_Neko]

Wow, Tai-kun! You did look like zabuza! Only, you'd hafta shave your eyebrows and die your hair to look the full part...

Well.. Regarding Zo-chan's post about bearded men being "prettyful," I prefer cleanshaven guys. Just my preference.

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

I'd prefer to shave the lower half of my face to the upper...

[Momo]

Ugh. I know well the rage. I absolutely refuse to leave the house unshaven. If my electric razor broke, I would cry. Fortunately, I am competent with a bladed razor, and wouldn't jugular...ate myself.

My heart goes out to you, Taimatsu. *shudder*

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

I do have a second electric razor, but I don't wish to use it. It's about as old as I am, and used to belong to my father. It doesn't so much as cut the hairs as it does rip them out by the roots. So it hurts like all get out. ._. There was a lot of bellowing and cursing when this was my only razor. And it took about an hour to shave it clean. Eventually, I had to get a new one. Mostly coz on one use of it made me in such a blind rage of pain, I had to kick something. (This frequently happened whilst using this.) That something happened to be the bathroom wall.

There's a two-foot hole there now. From one kick.

Haven't used that razor since.

[Wolfy]

ouch. didn't that hurt your foot? so wouldn't that make it even worse?

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

I was wearing my boots at the time, which, I suspect, is why it did the damage that it did.

[Wolfy]

ah.

[Momo]

Yeah, I think we can safely discount the second razor as a recourse. Unless you happen to find yourself bored with your face, and decided to rip all the skin off to start fresh. Eugh.
Excuse me while I go perform my monthly maintainance on mine, so I don't end up in the same boat as yourself.
And maybe you should think about fixing the wall. Either that, ot turn it into a selling point by kicking it in a little further, then adding in a little glass candle or something to make it an... alcove... dealie. On second thought, no.

[DarkfireTaimatsu]

Seeing how that wall divides the bathroom and my mother's room, I don't think that would be a good idea...
We jus' dun have the money to fix the wall right now. And it's not a problem, really... It's just unsightly.
